Not an expert, but I’ve always understood that what you’re describing is pansexual. I’ve understood the bisexual is general attraction to both men and women. Pansexual is attraction to any person.
Again, give or take any given person’s own chosen labels and attractions that might vary.
I always describe pansexuality as “bisexuality with more politics and an ugly flag”. The basic idea is the same (not being attracted only to one gender) but pansexuality is more explicit about there being more than two genders and liking most or all of them.
“Pansexual” is a term that was developed because some people were overly literal-minded about what they thought “bisexual” meant. A sensible person would know enough not to sweat the corner cases. We’re talking about human behavior, not code.
