 * Karen and Carlos are definitely pansexual people who have paired off to have this child, and this seems real and good to them now.

Usage notes

 * Some people prefer this term to bisexual because of its acknowledgement of more than two genders. Some other people dislike this term, either because they feel there are only two genders or they feel bisexual includes more than two genders, or they dislike the polysemy of pansexual. Similar arguments are made about the less common term.
