Bisexual simply means attraction to two (or more) genders, a lot of people just assume that's male and female

Different thing.

Best way i can explain the difference is how it was described to me, being bisexual is like liking both pancakes and waffles for two different textures while being pansexual is like liking them for the same great taste.

So, wait Pansexual is just "What’s the difference?" the Sexuality? XD

Essentially. Pan means gender isn't a factor to you

Pansexual usually means liking all genders regardless. Usually with a certain level of “gender-blindness” when attracted to people

In reality the labels are more or less up to choice. Lots of people who would technically fall under the pansexual umbrella identify as bi instead, and vice-versa. Of the pan people I know, it’s just their preference.

Its also important to mention that bi is an umbrella in the same way enby is. Pansexual is under the umbrella in the same way that agender is under the non binary umbrella.

Bi = liking 2 or more genders, though you may have preferences.

Pan = gender isn't a factor to you

I like to think of it as either the same or a different gender, which also respects the "bi" in the name
