Oh for the sake of all, pansexuality means you develop attraction to people regardless of where they fall on the gender spectrum.

 

Well, when you put it that way, it sounds more like bisexuality. So it looks like their synonymous. I mean, I could say I'm "Mono-sexual", meaning I desire one sex or "uni-sexual".

No, it's different from bisexuality. Put simply, pansexual includes attraction to people who are transgendered. It is attraction to people across the entire gender spectrum, not just two genders.

Now there's new terms the describe other strange classifications. Saw a recent one "Demisexual" and had "Questioning" after that. I was thinking, "Demisexual, WTF is this, she worship demons or something?!"

 

 

Demi is a prefix meaning "half" so that means demisexual is halfway between "sexual" and "asexual." Those that are demisexual want to wait until there is an emotinal or romantic connection before the have sex with someone.
