Another use of anthrosexual could come from someone having a [[fictosexual]] or [[fictoromantic]] identity as well (eg. anthrosexual [[cartosexual]], the attraction to cartoon characters so long as they’re human/alterhuman).

Anthrosexual refers to someone who is attracted to humans and alterhumans regardless of their gender identity/expression. The term avoids referencing a particular sexual orientation or predilection towards a particular gender.[1]
Anthrosexual and pansexual might be used interchangeably. The prefix pan- means "all" and anthro- means "humanoid," so the word anthrosexual might be considered easier to understand for individuals who don't know either term.
Another use of anthrosexual could come from someone having a fictosexual or fictoromantic identity as well (eg. anthrosexual cartosexual, the attraction to cartoon characters so long as they’re human/alterhuman). So although anthrosexual alone means attraction to humans and alterhumans regardless of gender, anthrosexual combined with a fictosexual identity may not include all genders (eg. lesbian anthrosexual-animatesexual).
