Trans people are also included in the bisexual manifesto, written in 1990
In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.
The way I always understood it was bisexual = attraction to your gender and other genders
and pansexual = attraction regardless of gender
now, functionally speaking, there is no distinction, but in terms of experience, I always identified more with pansexual than bisexual, as someone’s gender was just never something I took into account when determining my attraction.
I often to use both, as I consider pansexual to be a sub-distinction of bisexual.
That being said I recognize there is no consensus on the distinction in the community so I usually go with bi for ease.
Statements like this are exactly why i STOPPED identifying as pan and stick to bi/queer now. How pretentious and judgmental to say pansexuals care abt personality while bisexuals only care about looks. It’s just more bi erasure.
Not gay enough for the gays
Not straight enough for the straights
Not bi enough for the pans
Bisexuals can like trans and NB people, I promise ;)

I’ve always understood it as pansexual being attracted to personalities and bisexual being attracted to physical attributes

You’re reading more into it than you need to.
All homo- and hetero-sexuals care about physical attributes too.
All pans I’ve met, doesn’t care about any physical traits.
I guess that does kind of align with my understanding, just in slightly more simplified terms!
I knew that was from Anything That Moves before I got past the first sentence lol
