Then wouldn't the "in practice" inclusive bisexual people be pansexual by definition
People don't label themselves according to rigid definitions.
I probably fit the "inclusive bisexual" definition better but prefer the label pan. I also like the bi flag better so if I'm ever throwing a flag up it's usually bi lol. I use pan because I'm agender and it feels kinda weird to say that gender is something I care about when it isn't, but I find myself more attracted to people that present either androgynous or feminine, but not really masc (except for the ladies sometimes). All that to say, these labels are basically pointless and only serve to (poorly) provide a surface level summary of whatever the hell is going on in our heads
The other commenter gave you the right answer already. But I meant 'in practice' literally, as in, if the sexuality of someone matters to decide your course of action, like flirting with them or introducing a friend, they basically mean the same.
Now if you wanted to get technical, pansexual people are technically bisexual (?). Pansexuality would be a special case of bisexuality in which the attraction is equal across the entire gender spectrum.
But as rarWars said it's hard to put identity into strict rigid definitions. If you think it too hard this model means that every sexuality is just a special case of bisexuality as well, ace is a special case of pan...
