Simply put, pansexuals are attracted romantically and sexually to all genders and gender expressions, but bisexual people are attracted to both men and women, not necessarily those with a gender expression/identity different from their biological sex. Polysexuality and pansexuality are also similar, but the main difference is that polysexuals are attracted to many, but not necessarily all possible genders. This differs somewhat from pansexuality, which is the attraction to any possible combination of gender and sex.

Bisexuals like the same and other genders, polysexuals like multiple genders, and pansexuals like all genders. People can even identify as a blend of the three. It really all depends on you. I hope I was able to teach you something, and remember to respect everyone’s identity and orientation!

if you are pansexual it means you are attracted to all genders, (trans-girls/boys, people who are genderfluid, female and male). polysexuality is where you are attracted to some genders, (poly means many) but not all. People who are bisexual are attracted to both men and women. Hope this helps :)

This can be a matter of opinion. I myself identify as bi when many would consider me pan as I feel romantic attraction no matter the gender. The cut and dry definitions are:
bisexuality: attraction to different genders
polysexuality: attraction to more than two genders
pansexuality: attraction to all genders.
Find the label that best fits you.

Pansexuality is when a person is attracted to every gender (including non-binary people). Polysexuality is when a person can be in a relationship with more than one person. And bisexuality is when a person is attracted to men and women but not to non-binary people.

Pansexuality is when you are attracted sexually to people regardless of their presented gender. Polysexuality is when you are most fulfilled when you have 2+ sexual partners, in ethical relationships (this is not cheating, each partner needs to be aware and accepting of the circumstances). Bisexuality is someone attracted to both men and women, but not necessarily people who identify as genderqueer or transgender.

Pansexuality is the ability to be attracted person regardless of gender/sex.
Polysexuality I would imagine (although I am not sure) would be the fact to have multiple partners at the same time (I mean in involvement, not bnecessarily at the same time and space).
Bisexuality is to be able to be attracted sexually to both genders (male/female).

The difference between these three sexuality is the feeling about who you are interested in romantically and sexually attracted to.

Pansexuality is an emotional attraction toward people of any gender--meaning, they can love people regardless who they identify their self with. Polysexuality is a little the same as pansexuality but rejects bisexuality. They do not believe that a person can be attracted to only a girl or a boy.
