A pansexual person might say, “I’m attracted to people regardless of gender.
I don’t see gender as a factor in my attraction to others.”
Bisexuality means attraction to two genders, but not necessarily all gender identities.
If you are uncomfortable discussing your omnisexuality with others or certain people in particular, that is perfectly okay.
You are not obligated to explain your sexual orientation to anyone.
