How did you find out whether you're bisexual or pansexual?
Just asking out of curiosity. For context, I'm bisexual. I call myself bisexual for convenience's sake but I don't really care about labels that much. Personally, I take Robyn Och's definition of bisexuality as my own:
"I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted – romantically and/or sexually – to people of more than one sex and/or gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree."
I like both cis and trans people. Trans and cis have the same genders so I count it as the same. I like non-binaries as well. But I still don't claim to be pansexual. One of the most common definitions of it, other than being attracted to all genders, is that a pansexual person is genderblind. That is, they would include neither gender or sex as determining factors in their romantic or sexual attraction to others.
For me, I use bisexual it is easier to explain and it has a longer history that I can relate to. And I don't believe bisexuality to exclude non-binary people since in this specific case bi can mean "two or more". But I want to know your opinions on it and, if you are either of those or any other sexuality under the bisexual umbrella, which one are you?

I'm not sure if I'm bi or asexual. Do I just like everyone so I have been desensitized of my feelings towards everyone or do I like no one and have no feeling towards them at all? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I say I'm bi since there's always a possibility of liking someone that much but I kinda don't want an overly sexual relationship... So, I still have n......

I’m pan
I just gain crushes on whoever sometimes for no reason I’ve never cared about gender or race or anything even since I was little. I don’t really like labels, but I guess pan fits me the best, so it’s what I tell people.
