pansexuality
Attraction beyond gender
Pansexuality is sexual attraction that isn't limited by gender—attraction to people regardless of whether they're male, female, nonbinary, or otherwise.
Where bisexuality historically implied attraction to two genders, pansexuality emphasizes that gender isn't a determining factor at all: Her pansexuality means she's open to dating anyone she connects with.
