whats the difference between pansexuality n bisexuality, you may ask?
⢠well, pansexuality can be defined as being attracted to all genders but in this case, gender n sexuality dont play a very big factor in attraction
⢠well, pansexuality can be defined as being attracted to all genders but in this case, gender n sexuality dont play a very big factor in attraction
⢠i already defined bisexuality earlier so ill just wrap this up by saying that pansexuality is attraction to all genders but gender does not play a big role in attraction while bisexuality is attraction to multiple genders :)
