If one would, you would assume that makes them pansexual instead of straight. no?
I remember listening to an audiobook about Bisexuality some time ago that used a unique but very logical set of definitions. Those were:
So someone who isn't Nonbinary being attracted to someone who is NB could still count as Straight by that definition. You could also count an Enby as straight if they're attracted to both male and female presenting people, but not other Enbies.
But honestly, it's just a fun framework and people should be able to describe themselves however they like. The semantics of their category doesn't really matter after all.
So what you are saying is that bi and pan is the same thing? A person attracted to someone else not based on gender.
No, I'd say there's a difference. It's like someone who likes all colors vs. someone who's colorblind.
Technically bisexual is an umbrella term that encompasses pan, omni, etc. Omnisexual implies gender- or sex-based preferences, whereas pansexual implies having no such preferences
I see, thank you for the breakdown. I guess this means I don't get to steal gay valor for enjoying them/they pussy
