Which sexual orientation best describes a person who considers themselves female but is attracted to others regardless of gender identity?

Sexual orientation can be described by whether gender matters in attraction, and pansexuality specifically means attraction to people regardless of gender identity. The person described identifies as female but is attracted to others whether they are male, female, nonbinary, or another gender—so gender identity does not limit who they’re attracted to. That fits pansexuality best, since it encompasses attraction across the full gender spectrum. The other options involve restricting attraction by gender or refer to lack of sexual attraction (asexual).
