Yeah, that's why I don't use pansexual to describe myself. Because where I live in this area, everyone thinks it means a sexual attraction to objects and that if you're horny you'll even have sex with a
plant if that's all you can get.
So yeah, I avoid that description too... I guess we should make a new word for ourselves, then? How about 'soulsexual'? We're attracted to people's souls and who they are, not what gender they are.
Edit: Here's another one.
