I thought the distinction is that being bisexual involves attraction to the physicality of more than one specific gender, but that pan involves attraction to people primarily based on things about them other than their physicality
So in really simplified and not all inclusive terms: a guy who likes the physique of men and women would be bi. A guy who has fallen for men and women (but is not particularly attracted to any specific physique) would be pan.
Bi is basically open-mindedness about attraction to physiques, and pan is open-mindedness about attraction to personalities that may be wildly different. In either case tho neither is likely to have a real “type” in the conventional sense

I don’t think so. I think that last part is usually called demisexual. The only distinction between bi and pan I’ve ever seen articulated is that pan explicitly includes all genders, while bi only implicitly includes all genders because you could imagine some bi chud being like “bi means 2 I’m only attracted to men and women get that woke agenda out of here” but I’ve never actually met such a person so
As a bi/pan person myself I’ve always seen them as meaning the same thing, the difference is maybe in connotation.
Not meaningfully different but with an obviously better flag

Transphobes don’t have special sexualities, a bi transphobe is just that.
