Imagine if what you said there was applied to say sex, or race. Would we insist on going around saying "I am an Asian", "I am an African", "I am a Scot who lost my freedom!" etc? Or would we go "I'm a human being?".That's what people are trying to get across, that at the end of the day we are all human beings despite who we're attracted or not attracted to.Now, that being said I understand sexuality is a bit different. It's not something physically noticeable that a person can know about you without asking, it's something inside. And I'm all for the variety of LGBT terms there are available in order to better clarify/define one for a descriptive sense. So say instead of going on for 5-10 minutes saying "I like ______.... but not _____ and only in ______ way" you can quickly go "I'm a Pansexual/Asexual etc.".But there also becomes a point where it stops being a descriptive term, and people start using it to define themselves.You are not your sexuality, your entire personality is not simply who you are attracted to. You have feelings, interests, hobbies, opinions, friendships etc. All those help make up who you are too, and that's part of what people are trying to say.

I get that. But I am positive that most people when they describe themselves would not immediately say "I am an intersex genderqueer aromantic pansexual" or something similar. Or even really say that they were gay, if you want simplicity. No one is saying it is their entire identity. Let's go back to the sweets analogy: Yes, cookies, cupcakes, cakes and donuts are all sweets. But if someone points to a bakery display case and says, "What do you want?" It's pretty damn vague to just say "Sweets".

I don't care who is what gender and whether they want to get it on with anyone or no one at all -- if this thread starts getting heated, then I'll be forced to close it.Just sayin'.
