also DA
I still don't understand what's "bad" about more labels. It's human nature to want to categorize things as specific as possible, so that they can be more accurately defined.

ngl I side-eye some of the tumblr stuff, but I like heteroflexible because like, it's 100% easy to comprehend the meaning of the word from its roots, and is therefore useful in actually communicating information without giving people a lecture

you consider yourself basically straight for the purposes of your dating life and seeking RL partners, but you have theoretical gay Pants Feelings about really hot ladies in certain fictional or pornographic situations, because sexuality is complicated? sure, heteroflexible sounds like that thing

or maybe OP is just bi and hasn't fully figured it out yet, but that seems kind of rude and presumptuous to insist on when we don't know her at all

When labels become non-intuitive and too specific in an unhelpful way, it's time to stop.

Making new categories is, whatever. It's the social baggage - or perceived social baggage - that comes with it that is obnoxious. You can call yourself demisexual, and I don't give a fuck until you start saying that makes you different from "normal straight people", or queer, or special somehow. Making some labels is akin to me making a label for myself because I have am 5'3", or making a label for myself because I prefer to center-part my hair, or because I can't whistle. None of these things are important, and if I tried to base my identity on that - and go around telling people this is part of my identity - yeah, people are going to tell me I need to chill the fuck out.

Categories can be helpful for some people - like gay people, who use that label because it has been forced upon them, and they need support and community, as well as the ability to meet other same-gendered people for romantic reasons.

Categories become really dumb and pointless when they don't describe anything useful.

Over-labelling people into tiny little boxes is weird as hell and 100% useless.
