Bisexuality is the attraction to two genders, mostly, although some people who are attracted to more than two genders identify as bisexual. For example, a bisexual person may be attracted to males and females but not to nonbinary people, or they may be attracted to males and bigender people, but not to other nonbinary people or females. Pansexuality is the attraction to people regardless of gender. A pansexual person may be gender-blind, or they may recognise gender, but be attracted to all of them (as I am). Some people who would be defined as pansexual May identify as bisexual instead. So a pansexual person will be attracted to males, females, and nonbinary people. Polysexuality is the attraction to more than two genders, but not all. Some people who would technically be defined as polysexual identify as bisexual instead. For example, a polysexual person may be attracted to males, females and pangender people, but not to other nonbinary people. Hope this helped!

Pansexuality is sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females, or to more than one gender. Polysexuality is the attraction to multiple genders and/or sexes. The terms usually refer to one's sexual preference but can also be used to refer to people's romantic preferences. Someone may be asexual but still identify as pansexual, bisexual, or polysexual to refer to their romantic interests. Despite having definitions, people may have different believes about what constitutes each of these criteria and some people may not like the title.
