Why or why not?

If so, would it depend on how they present or their assigned gender at birtb or something else?

If one would, you would assume that makes them pansexual instead of straight. no?

    I remember listening to an audiobook about Bisexuality some time ago that used a unique but very logical set of definitions. Those were:

    • Straight: attracted to gender(s) that are not the same as yours
    • Gay: attracted to gender(s) that are the same as yours
    • Bi: attracted to gender(s) that are yours as well as gender(s) that are not yours
    • Pan: Attraction is independent of gender

    So someone who isn't Nonbinary being attracted to someone who is NB could still count as Straight by that definition. You could also count an Enby as straight if they're attracted to both male and female presenting people, but not other Enbies.
    But honestly, it's just a fun framework and people should be able to describe themselves however they like. The semantics of their category doesn't really matter after all.

    So what you are saying is that bi and pan is the same thing? A person attracted to someone else not based on gender.
