Bisexuality, Pansexuality, Omnisexuality and Polysexuality -- and explanation! + a reminder

The creds to this explanation goes to my friend Florie https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">

(This is a thread)
PANSEXUAL - refers to a sexual orientation that is completely unrelated to gender identity. "so like, u don& #39;t give a shit at all" (gender-blind)
OMNISEXUAL -- refers to a sexual orientation where in you are attracted to all genders. gender still plays a role in your attraction and you can have preferences.
POLYSEXUAL -- refers to a sexual orientation wherein you are attracted to more than one gender, but not like all of them.
bisexual has two competing definitions:

a) attraction to men and women exclusively.

b) attraction to your gender as well as other genders. so essentially just a synonym of omnisexual? BUT-
"personally, i think bisexual could mean an attraction to masculine traits as well as feminine traits instead of just male and female. so like, it& #39;s still anchored on the binary system of gender expression but not necessarily gender identity"
+
This one works because it doesn& #39;t exclude non-binary people (a problem with a.) and it& #39;s more distinct from omnisexual (a problem with b.)
REMINDER:

Remember btw that like gender, sexuality, and the labels we assign to them are like really arbitrary. so these definitions are more subjective than objective. You can& #39;t really measure attraction so you could think about stuff like an entirely different way!
