Agender, neopronoun, and nonbinary identities
Those are still covered under bisexual though. Technically, if you’re a woman attracted to nonbinary people, you’re heterosexual.
And this is why we invented new and better words.
I view bisexual as selecting all partners of both sexes and pansexual as selecting all partners of all genders
That understanding is wrong.
Bisexual means “homo and hetero sexual”. So, “attracted to my own gender and not-my-own gender”. Thats the classical definition.
And then people who didn’t understand that, invented the world pansexual to mean exactly the same thing.
Do you have a resource to confirm what you’re saying? Because homosexual means same sex and heterosexual is opposite sex. Bisexual would be both sexes by that reasoning
