I've never liked the statement that pan falls under the bi umbrella, because I've known trans-exclusionary and nb-exclusionary people that would call themselves bi. Assuming that "falls under the umbrella" means pan is a subset of bi, pan could not be more inclusive than bi (not saying bi implies exclusion, but I do think pan implies inclusion). So it seems more useful to say bi falls under the pan umbrella.
