    So pansexual is an outdated term? Straight, gay, asexual and bisexual are back. Assuming you remove the trans prefix and everyone’s chosen gender is blanket applied. Or pansexual would strictly apply to a person attracted to non binary people? I don’t care what people do, everyone gets my respect until they lose it. I just want to understand current correct terminology so speak meaningfully.

      Pansexual still refers to the gender. Same with bisexual and straight people. One might be more specific like “only cis straight” (I know it sounds horrible, but couldn’t think of a better naming), but they all generally apply to the gender when used as broader terms.
