I think I understand the point you are making. However, the construct I put forth does, in fact, encompass that which you are saying. I am simply saying it is the minority and not the majority that most people seem to assume it to be.
Fluidity isn't the only issue, it is just a further complication of the original continuum.
Sexuality, attraction, desire, gender, reproduction, etc. are infinitely complicated and complex and we mere mortals go about with our big label maker (because those things are awesome to play with, no?) trying to keep ourselves from constantly falling into the minutiae of arguing over semantics and nomenclature. (Although, clearly, I enjoy it.) We simplify things so we can put them into neat little categories and file the information away in our brain to pull it out later when needed. I'm certainly not saying I am above it! We have to operate in this manner or, frankly, everything would grind to a halt. It is a practical way of operating and there is nothing wrong with that.
The only problem is that we need to remember that we did it in the first place. We need to keep open minds and realize there is greater complexity whether we want to deal with it at any given time or not.

YES!!!! Exactly! That is what I was trying to convey. Terms are limiting. Thank you. Have a good day.
