pansexual
Attracted to all
Pansexual describes sexual or romantic attraction to people regardless of their gender or sex.
Unlike bisexual, which historically implied attraction to two genders, pansexual emphasizes that gender is not a determining factor in attraction at all.
The term gained currency in the early 21st century alongside increased recognition of nonbinary and transgender identities.
She identifies as pansexual because she's attracted to the person, not their gender.
