I thought I was Pansexual, but I am actually Omnisexual. Now I know for certain as I can be attracted to all genders.
"Omnisexual (often shortened to omni) is an orientation defined as the sexual attraction to all genders, though gender still plays a role in the attraction. This can also be a romantic orientation (omniromantic)."
Omnisexuality vs. Pansexuality
Lots of people in the LGBT+ community are uneducated on the many forms of non-monosexuality (attraction to more than one gender) and are very confused when they see the terms pansexual and omnisexual side-by-side, however there is a distinction between them.
Pansexual people are gender-blind, meaning gender does not play a role in the attraction and they are attracted to people no matter their gender; they don't recognize it.
Omnisexual people are also attracted to all genders, much like pansexuals, but they are not gender-blind. Omnisexuals do recognize the gender of the person they are attracted to, and for some, it is a major factor in attraction. For some, it isn't, but they are still not gender-blind if they call themselves omnisexual.
