Pansexuality is a sexual orientation, distinct from bisexuality and characterized by potential aesthetic attraction, romantic love and sexual desire for anybody, including those people who don't fit into the gender binary of male/female implied by bisexual attraction. It is sometimes described as the capacity to love a person romantically, irrespectave of gender. Some pansexuals go so far as to claim that gender and sex are meaningless to them.
Many transgendered, transsexual, intersex people are 'pansexual', having an intimate understanding of the many degrees between the masculine and the feminine. However, this should not be seen as a generalization, as transsexual people may identify as straight or gay based on their biological, perceived, or corrected sex, and non-transsexual people may also find themselves attracted to individuals across the sexual spectrum. It has also been used, with debate, to describe those with a pedophilic orientation that is not child-exclusive in its attraction. Meaning, the sexual attraction is felt by the pedosexual in varying strong degrees for both children and adults of the opposing gender, the same gender, or both genders.
A similar concept is that of Omnisexuality; that is, one who is sexually attracted to anything.
