The clue is in the etymology. "Bi"="two" but "pan"="all". So bisexuals are attracted to both sexes (meaning male and female), but pansexuals are attracted to all sexes, including non-binary.
Furthermore bisexuals, despite being attracted to both males and females, may be more attracted to one sex than the other . . . but for pansexuals the sex of the person has no bearing on how attractive they find them. They only see the person and are only attracted to the person, regardless of their sex.
Never considered pansexual (though I do love bread) since there are lots of people I don't find at all attractive sexually including little kids and other species, though I am very fond of dogs in an affectionate, non-sexual way.
Pansexual does not mean you’re attracted to everyone. In simplest terms it means gender doesn’t determine whether someone is attractive or not.
