The definition of pansexuality is really not this mysterious. Pansexuals may experience attraction to someone else regardless of sex. Bisexuals only experience attraction to the male and female sexes.
In real life, this means that bisexuals and pansexuals are essentially the same. You will only be able to distinguish them if you introduce a hermaphrodite or unfinished transexual.

ok i just read p5 what is this
pansexual is different from bisexual in that it includes attraction to things which fall outside of the gender binary. whether you define "male" and "female" by genitals or by gender identity is irrelevant; that's up to the individual... but a bisexual person will only have an interest in what they consider to be a male or a female (i suppose that could be something other than male or female so long as they are only interested in two types of thing, but that ain't how people usually define it), whereas a pansexual person may have an interest in someone who is not identified as either. generally speaking, a transman is still a man and a transwoman still a woman, and you do not have to be pansexual to be attracted to them. but there are those who identify and/or appear as neither man nor woman, which would fall outside of the range of bisexual attraction. that is why the term 'pansexual' exists, because as the name implies, someone who is bisexual is only interested in two things, whereas a pansexual is interested in all of the possibilities.

Yeah? You expect me to believe you were in a gay bar hitting up transchicks that day? Whatever. You don't fool me.

Because of the sexy high-end lederwaren.
No. They didn't cover all possibilities.
Damn you, and your omniscient Mossad

ok then bruh chef dont judge
With this discussion in mind:
Though I scored a 4 on the scale, everything outside the gender binary also fits into my sexuality somewhere. My subconscious mind does have its preferences, but overall in who I'd be willing to date and be intimate with, I am Don'tgiveafucksexual (Or otherwise your less self-explanatory word "Pansexual").
So long as you're an awesome person & we mutually want to be together...
I will find you... And I will bang you.

The problem is that someone can say they're gay, but they're dating a transman, and that's fine.
If someone says they're bisexual, and they're dating a transman (or whatever), they're a "horrible person" for not recognizing people outside the gender binary. It's a double-standard, telling bisexuals to change their label over exceptions but not gays or straights.
I take a different view from Uncle Dis on this, and there is some debate in the community about it.
The other view on the issue is that pansexual is a redundant term. That the difference between bisexuals and pansexuals is a political one, not a biological one. It doesn't take a 'special orientation' to date trans/intersex people. There's nothing on them that's gonna scare away someone who's bi. Some bi people like androgyny and some don't. There's no need to separate that into two orientations. Some straight people like androgyny and some don't. We don't consider those different. Any more different than bears and twinks for instance. It's silly to divide an orientation that already gets very little recognition into smaller groups over this.
I identify as bisexual. I used to say I was pan, and after about a month I got tired of explaining it, and felt a bit pretentious saying it all the time. 99.99% of the time, bisexual covers everything. For the teeny tiny percent of the population the term doesn't cover (because it was invented centuries ago), they're exceptions. I don't need to define myself by them.

I've stopped trying. I'm not going to seek sexual partners, so why bother?
A combination of sex organs, or the knowledge that a convincing sex organ was actually synthetic would put me off. It would be one of the ultimate turn offs for many people.
The difference between a real woman, and a man who resembles a woman because of surgical and chemical intervention, is surely more significant than the difference between a thin hairless man and a fat hairy man.

Not being attracted to transexuals is transphobic like being gay is misogynistic. :\
And yes there is a difference between a karyotipic woman and a transsexual; but if I use the word 'karyotype' I may be accused of excluding people from conversation by being 'scientifically elite'.
This doesn't mean either is superior or inferior as a person.
