About Pansexuality in brief
Pansexuality is sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Because pansexual people are open to relationships with people who do not identify as strictly men or women, it is often considered a more inclusive term than bisexual. The extent to which the term bisexual is inclusive when compared with the term pansexual is debated within the LGBT community, especially the bisexual community. A medical specialist at Columbia University states that pansexuals can be attracted to cisgender, transgender, intersex and androgynous people. The American Institute of Bisexuality argues that terms like pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual, queer, etc. are being used in place of bisexual because bisexuality is a gender binary, and therefore oppressive, word.
According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, 25% of American transgender people identify as bisexual. Bisexual-identified transgender and genderqueer people on the one hand, and non-bi-identified Transgender and GenderqueerPeople on the other, argue that the allegations of binarism have little to do with bisexuality’s actual attributes or bisexual people’s behavior in real life. They believe that bisexuality ignores erases the visibility of transgender or gender orases the bisexual and transgender movements separated, because of those who believe that bi-sexuals fixated on gender are anti-science.
