Yes

No

Bisexuality implies by it's very definition an attraction to two sexes and/or genders; normally assumed as male and female. Bisexuals are attracted to both males and females. Some bisexuals keep their label, though embrace the ideas met by pansexuality.

Pansexuality implies (also by it's very definition, all) multiple sexes/genders to be attracted to. Pansexuals normally embrace the idea that they are "gender blind" and become attracted to someone regardless of their sex or gender.

Bisexuality does not involve attraction to transgender people.

transgender people aren't their own gender

they are people of one gender that change to the other. meaning bisexuals can be attracted to them because bisexuals are attracted to both genders

there is no law saying bisexuals can't be attracted to transgenders

No, there is actually a fucking definition of bisexuals that they are only attracted to full males and full females, it's 'bi' not 'multi'.

A Poem, by Yours Truely

"Bi and pansexuals are really the same thing you know,

I know what I know for my Lord's book says so.

Both identities are just code word for sinner, don't call me dumb,

I have been blessed with knowledge and wisdom by God's true son!"

said the arrogant Christian as he stuck up his nose.

"Why don't these sexual deviants just do what they're told?

The bible sets out rules, all of which we must follow,

Otherwise you'll be tossed into the burning inferno!

Ever since this great nation has rejected Christian piety

Many heathens and heretics have plagued our society!

With ungodly ideas, such as free thinking and acceptance,

They've turned away from Yahweh, now viewing him with resentment!"

Then the Christian thought of something he hadn't before,

Maybe he was the true asshole after all.

So then, all religious people are the same. Christianity, Islam, Paganism, it's all the same. How many ways can you define a religious person? ;)

Side: Yes

No there is not.

Pan means all

Bi means two

there are only two genders

therefor bisexuals and pansexuals are the same thing

pansexuals like to argue that they are more open to bisexuals but honestly that argument only shows that pansexuals feel they are "better" than bisexuals. but truly they are the same

Side: No

No there is not.

Obviously, I disagree. :)

Pan means all

Bi means two

This I do agree with.

there are only two genders

This is incorrect. There are numerous genders, which are difficult to confirm due to gender being a mental identifier. However normally people mean there are only two sexes. This is also incorrect, there is at least one more sex; intersex. And it's arguable that there are more.

therefor bisexuals and pansexuals are the same thing

If there were only two genders or sexes, you'd be correct.

pansexuals like to argue that they are more open to bisexuals

Do you mean "more open than bisexuals"?

but honestly that argument only shows that pansexuals feel they are "better" than bisexuals. but truly they are the same

I don't think so. Surely some people think they're better than another comparative group. But I don't think pansexuals as an entirety believe this of themselves when mentioning being more open. In truth, someone who can only like certain fruits, have a limited or more closed choice selection. However someone who likes a great deal of different fruits are more open to those different selections.

Side: Yes
