I'm not entirely sure that I grasp what you're saying, but I think a lot of this is effectively inevitable baggage involved in using language at all, and i really mean that. like, if you are going to use words to describe peoples' gender or sexual identities, and if you want those words to have any meaning on a wide scale, there is inevitably going to be a point where the words break down - there's no point where you can get specific enough to fully account for something that's so intrinsically personal and varied.

Like, it's possible to imagine everyone creating a word for their specific gender-sexual identity, but doing so seems like it would be pretty meaningless almost immediately. As long as we use words defined by consensus to define ourselves, we're going to give away some of our ability to control that definition. The best approach to me is to understand it and work within those constraints.
