This is the dilemma. Bisexual is too limiting because it assumes a gender binary and ignores other possible identities. On the other hand pansexual sounds way too much like I have a fetish for kitchen Implements.
I usually just go with " my sexual preference is often." Which is at least technically accurate. ;-)
At some point the alphabet soup is going to get unwieldy, I agree something shorter would be preferable. But of course it needs to be inclusive as well, which is the tension.
