Gillian Anderson identifies as pansexual

Actress Gillian Anderson has identified as pansexual, providing a more specific label for her sexuality following previous discussions regarding her fluid attractions. In a recent interview with The Australian, Anderson clarified her identity, noting that while she has long been open about her attraction to women, she had previously been uncertain whether labels such as bisexual or pansexual best described her.

Anderson credited her work on the series ‘Sex Education’, where she plays a sex therapist, as a catalyst for her self-discovery regarding desire and identity. This exploration also informed her literary work, including her books ‘Want’ and ‘More’, which feature collections of anonymous sexual fantasies from women worldwide. The actress noted that her journey toward understanding herself has evolved as she has aged.
