Gillian Anderson has put a clearer name to something she has been discussing publicly for years.
The X-Files and Sex Education star has revealed that she identifies as pansexual, describing herself as “pan” during a recent interview with The Australian. The term generally describes attraction in which gender is not a determining limitation.
For Anderson, 58, the statement appears less like a sudden change and more like the latest step in a longer process of finding language that accurately describes her experiences.
