I don't think that I have posted this but as someone else wrote that I have nothing against those that are not clearly male or female, I am just not sexually attracted to them.
Although I do not agree with everything in the following article I do agree with what is written about pansexuals and bisexuals.
"While pansexual individuals are attracted to men, women, transgender, transsexual and intersex individuals, bisexual individuals are only attracted to their same sex or the opposite sex."

For me, there is a clear difference between bisexuals and pansexuals. I do not see pansexuals as a subcategory of bisexuality. Pansexuals are sexually attracted to those that I am not attracted to. Call me dumb but it just doesn't work for me that way. If you have breasts and a penis, no thank you. Actually, I have found that I am psychologically more interested in bisexuals and not gay men either as sometimes there seems to be a difference in socio-political expectations. That is beyond sexual attraction though. I'm not sure about other bisexual men but I am not attracted to a cisman who presents himself in women's clothes either. Since I have no interest in cross dressing, I could not clearly say whether such a person was more pansexual but they may be as they are not acting in a binary way? just my thought at the moment. That is for that person to decide..I guess?
As far as the term genderqueer, there are just too many various categories for me to distinquish or comprehend (transsexual, transgender, intersex, etc.) As I wrote, those of us who are bisexual and not pansexual may just prefer to keep it simplier as far as sexual attraction is concerned. I mean no disrespect to those who are not clearly male or female. Whether an intersexed person is desirous of being in a binary way is not relevant from my perspective. They are outside of the binary way and I am not sexually attracted to them.
