I see a lot of sexualities being identified, as below, that seem to me to just be mindsets about how one approaches relationships (less so 'poly' and the last two, though):
I'm wondering if it's helpful to identify these as 'sexualities'? Might it be a bit limiting for people to say 'No, I only get attracted to people in this form?'
I came across this graphic from a tweet saying 'Look, it's harmless, let people have these words without saying "But were you murdered/oppressed for this identity" and I see that as well, but it still seems to be rather over-analysing and perhaps therefore unhea;thy to me to declare the way one approaches relationships as actually a sexuality or an identity. I mean, do I need a word 'I'm not attracted to many people, can do fine without lots of sex and am mostly attracted to men but also women a bit' , would that do me and the world any good ultimately?
