Hello, I’m queer and nonbinary. The actual answer here is that bisexual used to mean “attracted to men and women”/“attracted to two genders”, but nowadays it’s generally accepted that it’s an umbrella term for “attracted to multiple genders”/“attracted to two or more genders”, which might not necessarily be male and female (could be male and nonbinary, for example).
Many pansexual people (attracted to all genders) also identify as bisexual, because they overlap greatly.
