    I’m pan, and I think of it like this:

    Pan means you’re attracted to people regardless of their gender. Bi means you’re attracted to more than one gender.

    No hate though, if anyone else defines them differently. That’s just how I see it.

      bisexual.py:

      def is_sexually_attracted_to(self, other):
          return other.gender in self.preferred_gender
      

      pansexual.py:

      def is_sexually_attracted_to(self, other):
          # TODO: factors based on other traits TBI
          return True
      

      Close enough?

      I think of it like this: bi is attraction to masc men and fem women.

      Pan is attraction to all configurations of gender, genitals, and presentation.
