'''Omnisexual''' (often shortened to '''omni''') is a redundant sexuality that is literally the same thing as bisexuality. |
|||
'''Omnisexual''' (often shortened to '''omni''') is an orientation defined as the sexual attraction to all genders, though gender still plays a role in the attraction. Some people who identify as omnisexual may have a preference to which gender they feel most attracted to. For others they may be equally attracted to all genders, but they may feel the act of being attracted to one gender feels different than the act of being attracted to another gender. They might also find certain traits only attractive in certain genders. |

The romantic equivalent is [[omniromantic]]. |

[[Pansexual|Pansexuality]] and omnisexuality are very similar as they both involve insufferable biphobic and transphobic people who think they're special for "allowing" trans people into their attraction. |

Omnisexual people are also attracted to all genders, much like pansexuals, but omnisexuals tend to feel a difference between genders. This can manifest itself as a preference for certain gender(s) (though omnisexuals do not have to have a preference). Omnisexual people may also feel as those the act of being attracted to certain gender(s) feels different from being attracted to other gender(s). They might also find certain traits only attractive on certain genders. |
