I know Toyota is Japanese, but they have a Kentucky, USA factory where they manufacture Camry and Lexus ES 350 and 300h.

Definitely a divisive topic. My understanding is that bisexual is attraction to two or more genders (of any nonzero amount of attraction) and that pansexual is equal attraction to all genders. Bisexual is an umbrella term and pansexual is a specific type of bisexual.
However, how people decide to label themselves is a bit tricky. Some folks consider themselves pansexual, and the bisexual label does not apply. Other pansexual folks will say that bisexual also fits. There are even more labels, like omnisexual (attraction to all genders, but the level of attraction between them is not equal), that exist but aren't in as wide of use. It's not really my place to say whether these labels are valid or if these folks are using them right, but this is what I have observed over time.
If I needed to make a multiple choice form for collecting sexuality information, I would likely have straight, gay, bisexual, asexual, other and prefer not to say, with each option allowing notes if wanted. This would still allow for people to choose a label that fits them and be more specific if they preferred. (A pansexual person, for instance, could choose bisexual or other and further specify if they so chose.)
I knew a fellow that studied anthropology in college. Got a high paying job figuring out how to deny insurance payments to people.
Not to take away from your point, but I do wonder how the hell he got there.
Yes, seriously. They think that women will only engage in something to get male attention. Makeup and fashion? They do it to be beautiful and to impress men. Sports and video games and other hobbies men might like? They're faking it, to impress men. (Women must prove they have genuine interest usually by naming off facts or other tasks.)
It used to be a lot worse, but that attitude is still there.
Not Dril!
Was your discomfort with my situation part of god's plan, too?
You're not allowed to enjoy things on the shit list, sorry.
If other people are affected, no they're not. They just need to be tough like me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to call in a favor for something that is affecting me.
"Oh no. I did his bidding. He was supposed to hurt other people, but not me. Now I hate that guy. Feel sorry for me."
Who needs therapy when you can foist off all of your emotional needs on one person?
It's hard to explain. I am (demi) aromantic and I really can't pin down why I am attracted to women and femme folks. It's just "vibes," I guess.
I can be friends with a person regardless of gender identity, expression, or genitals no problem. I can recognize when a man or masc person is good looking. But I am just not interested in them sexually.
Also autistic.
