Your categorizing peoples individual personalities and choices. Also unnecessary complications.
-
I'm pretty sure they're humans and not snowflakes or whatever the f--- soooOooo
You're making it sound like you don't even understand demisexuality. Yes I am attracted to people because demisexuals do experience sexual attraction once they have formed a band with someone soooo. And yes I do care about sex wtf?
"People who don't like sex" is not even remotely logical to say. -
Personalities?? These aren't f---ing personalities. And, again, you don't HAVE to label youself.
-
You clearly know what that term meant.
Quote "How do I get horny". Your I do care about sex statement ha been proven wrong.
It is incredibly logical. It is an easier way to say "low sex drive" which is easier to understand.
Personalities are what defines peoples choices (or more accurately defines how they make certain choices). Personalities are also variables. I was gay for several years. It changed. Sexuality is nothing more than another aspect of someones personality. -
You just called a human a snowflake I don't see your logic so.
What does it matter if I care about sex or not? o.o That doesn't make my sexual orientation less real
Asexuality doesn't necessarily mean low sex drive and what does that even have to do with anything to begin with o.o
I guess you could call it that?? -
Okay, I'm just gonna pop in for a sec and give my two cents. I'm still trying to figure out so much of what's going on with me, so I probably won't be able to be held to everything in this statement in a few months.
I'm not a girl. I didn't really catch on to "boy" and "girl" until I started going to school, and it was awful for me. Being grouped with the girls felt completely incorrect, and being grouped with the boys wasn't any better. It's kind of hard to explain, but most of the time I felt really lost about the entire thing. Gender's always felt so irrelevant. I mean, I know that other people enjoy it and feel like it helps them, but it's really not all that important to me, nor has it ever been. I think at this point I can say that I'm agender, meaning that I don't really associate with gender at all, and especially not the two binaries.
Same goes for my sexual and romantic preferences. I'm pansexual/romantic, which means that gender doesn't play a part in my attraction. At all. (Doesn't mean that I'm attracted to everyone I meet btw.) I have no memory of my parents being together, only of my dad and his partner, and my mom. I knew growing up that people could like their own gender, or other genders (and was still a little confused about gender myself), but wasn't sure about liking multiple genders. I felt just as torn about gender when I realized that I liked girls as much as boys, maybe even more. When I figured out that there were more genders, that really settled things for me.
I've known about my sexuality for the past four years, and I've been so much more comfortable about myself in that time. I'm still figuring things out with my gender, but ever since I started trying pronouns and genders, I've felt a whole lot better about myself as a person.
I'm not trying to create some sob story or whatever, I'm just saying that sometimes, labels help people. It's not so much about forcing people in or out of labels, it's about letting people choose their own. And since there are a whole lot more than just boy or girl, straight or gay, or whatever, it really improves the way one feels about themselves. I'm pan and agender, and being able to choose for myself helps more than anything else I've experienced. -
I wouldn't call those categories "unnecessary" as each of them express a different concept. Humans are by nature complicated beings and therefore if you really want to transfer what you mean as best as you can, then various words need to be created.
For example, Bi-sexual and Bi-Curious might sound "almost" the same, but they actually show distinct concepts. -

Can you give me any coherent reason that any of these classifications can't fall under Either Straight, Gay, Bisexual, or Asexual?
Everything else seems like a subclass or a preference within that orientation. -

The first three only support the binary genders. Considering that not everyone puts themselves into a binary gender today, we shouldn't really limit sexuality to binary genders, either.
Besides, you used to identify as pansexual. Didn't it piss you off when people said you were bisexual instead? -
What Sel said ^
Plus, autosexual doesn't really fall under any of that. -
Could I give any good reason why they'd be wrong?
And Gender is defined by the genomes either XX or XY. Anything else is purely a personal preference, and holds no grounds in reality. I don't care what you "feel" like. Unless you are the one in a million that is both, you are either male or female. -
Unless you're transgender.

If you have a vagina, you're a chick. If you have a penis you're a dude. You can deny those facts all you want, it doesn't make them go away.
