Pansexuality is a sexual orientation, distinct from bisexuality and characterized by potential aesthetic attraction, romantic love and sexual desire for anybody, including those people who don't fit into the gender binary of male/female implied by bisexual attraction. Many transgendered, transsexual, intersex people are pansexual, having an intimate understanding of the many degrees between the masculine and the feminine. However, this should not be seen as a generalization, as trans people may identify as straight or gay based on their biological, perceived, or corrected sex, and non-trans people may also find themselves attracted to individuals across the sexual spectrum.
