I prefer using omnisexual but use bi when explaining to people outside the community

    Just arm yourself with the definitions when kids bug you.
    bi - attraction to multiple genders
    pan - attraction regardless of gender
    The difference is subtle but its there and it matters.

    Also, no one but you gets to put a label on yourself. That’s also another good argument.

      I identify as bi, but when I tried to figure out the difference between bi and pan it seems like bi fits the “attraction to multiple genders” that fits me just fine. I also felt it came down to preference in the end, for me; and I just love the bi flag colors so I think that helped! :)
