When a person's sexual attractions are not influenced by the biological sex, gender, or gender identity of others, they may identify as pansexual. Pansexuality is characterized by the capacity to be attracted to individuals regardless of their gender or sex. This means that a pansexual person may feel romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender identity, including male, female, transgender, non-binary, and others.

The term emphasizes the inclusivity of pansexuality, highlighting a focus on the individual and their personality rather than on gender-based classifications. This contrasts with other sexual orientations, such as bisexuality, which may refer to attraction to two genders, though the understanding of bisexuality can also vary widely. Understanding pansexuality involves recognizing the diverse spectrum of human attraction and the importance of personal identity.
