I’m a bisexual woman, and both I and my bi friends include trans and non-binary people in our attraction range. What are the difference between the terms?

There’s very little.

Bisexuality, in current usage of the term, is “I am attracted to both people of my gender identity, and people not of my gender identity.”

Pansexuality, in current usage of the term is “I am attracted to people no matter what their gender identity may be.”

In practice, the terms are pretty much identical. But some people have very strong opinions about the term “bisexual” and whether its an outdated term because it implies a gender binary.
