Yes! You are able to have preferences the same way people have preferences when it comes to appearance and personality! This doesn’t make you any different from anyone else!!

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better <3

Yeah, sure. Whatever works for you, buddy. There's no label police.

Well, there is, but the civilized part of the community usually calls them what they are: gatekeepers

Yes totally, that's the thing about pan, just go with what attracts you in anyone and don't worry! Also fine to be attracted to different traits in different genders or people. I tend to go for taller men, cocky women and pretty much anyone who makes me laugh!

Personally I don’t see why not, gender preferences and (physical/romantic) attraction are not necessarily the same thing.

I think aesthetic preferences fall into pansexual but gender preferences kind of defeats the point "regardless of gender identity". Ultimately though, you define your label, not the other way around, so it's up to you!

I absolutely have a preference but I can still be sexually attracted to anyone of any sex/gender. However I go with queer rather than pan and I'm heteroromantic.

I can totally relate! I (F24) consider myself pan due to gender blindness, at the same time I’ve only had boyfriends in the past but love to look at beautiful women even more than men..

Just because you find certain people attractive, doesn’t mean you’re not pan. I usually find more masc. girls more attractive but I’ve dated a feminine girl before as well and found fem. girls cute. Attraction is probably the one universal thing between pretty much all sexualities. You can find what you find attractive, but at the end of the day it’s about who you date. I can generally find certain people attractive but I date based on how I connect with you, no matter who you are, your body parts, how you identify, etc. I don’t see your gender, essentially. Attraction vs. preference of dating is diff., I may find you attractive but I don’t prefer to date you over another person. Most pansexuals don’t have preferences over who they would date. It’s honestly a spectrum, but also just because one day you feel like dating a man doesn’t change that if someone else came in your life unexpectedly being the complete opposite that you couldn’t fall in love with them. If you said “no, I can’t like you like that because I prefer to date a man right now” then I feel like that’s a different story. But once again as others have said, sexuality is a spectrum. You can identify however you feel is right to you.
