The replies are interesting.

Personally I like pansexual as a concept. I like that people are attracted to others regardless of how they identify. Why shut yourself off from a group?

I still don’t understand how it’s different from bisexual though.

In the words of Catherine tates Nan: what a load of absolute shit.

Can a heterosexual or a homosexual be pansexual? Or is it only bisexuals who can be pansexual?

It’s paving the way for all the other ‘sexualities’ under the lgbt+ alphabet to become legal characteristics. I assume it's a good way of including all the fetishists. If we thought Trans was removed from LGB, wait and see what this brings forth

SEXuality relates to which sex a person is attracted to.

There are two sexes. So it’s opposite, same or both sex attracted.

Pansexual is a meaningless term unless you buy into gender ideology. It’s meant to obfuscate. No one faces discrimination based on their pansexuality, it’s covered under bisexual being a protected characteristic under the equality act. Pansexual describes a sexual preference not orientation and isn’t highly offensive to imply it’s the same thing, which gender ideology does imply.

It’s paving the way for all the other ‘sexualities’ under the lgbt+ alphabet to become legal characteristics.

To me, the meaning of pansexual means you are bisexual and you agree with transgenderism.

@TheWeeDonkey Exactly- but that's considered transphobic these days!

The video changes the meaning of the word ‘bisexual’ to being attracted to many genders.
It ignores the roots of the word ‘bi’ and ‘sexual’ which refers to the fact that there are two sexes.
Trying to shoehorn bisexuality into gender theory renders the word meaningless.
The woman in the video doesn’t speak for me. I’m not attracted to ‘gender’. What would that even mean? That I’m attracted to gender stereotypes? I really am not.

How does bisexual mean you're attracted to more than one gender?? It means you're attracted to both sexes. You might only be attracted to masculine people of either sex. So that's one gender.

Maybe I'm old but surely bisexual covers all bases? However a person presents or identifies when it comes to the nitty gritty we're all either male or female.

I am not attracted to people who “identify” as otherkin bc it’s nonsense, but I am fine with non-binary identity.

I enjoyed this reply. Grin

The only way they can make this work as a definition is to substitute gender for sex. Which is ridiculous- sex is part of the word!
