One who can love sexuality in many forms.
Like bisexuality, but even more fluid, a pansexual person can love not only the traditional male and female genders, but also transgendered, androgynous, and gender fluid people.

Pansexuality falls under the bisexuality umbrella and, according to sexologist Dr. Carlen Costa, “is the sexual, romantic, emotional, physical or spiritual attraction to people, regardless of their specific gender identity or sexual expression.” She continues, “Pansexuality is about recognizing that as a people, we have evolved, thus the language of love and relationships has also had to evolve and become increasingly inclusive.”
In other words, pansexuality not only means that you can be attracted to both men and women; it means that you believe that "gender is a social construct and the way in which we move through the sexuality spectrum is a fluid experience” according to Costa. Identifying as pansexual means that you don't focus on gender in your romantic attraction to other people and can be attracted to all possible identities.
It mainly differs from bisexuality in specifying a rejection from the gender binary to begin with. Though bisexual individuals may feel this way too, pansexual people often express that they may be attracted to genderqueer people, gender-nonconforming individuals, trans people, as well as cis-gender men and women.

"In other words bi "
Bi means two so you are attracted to males and females only generally that means a masculine male or feminine female while pansexuals it's they don't really see the sex of the person but rather the person as a whole so more their personality and aren't fazed by what sexual organs the person has or if the way they look matches those organs. It's a rather lovely to be I think  |

"It would be really good to be able to have it as a choice option on our profiles "
I'd rather do away with the sexuality tick box and just have 'looking for' |
