how is doing what 90% of people on the planet do (either from choice or social conditioning) somehow being 'a freak'?

I think most of the people on the planet are capable of a much wider range of sexual attraction than I am. This tumblr post explains it better than I can, albeit in a rather satirical manner.

If we want to be anecdotal, for a long time I wasn't sexually attracted to anyone. Then I became sexually attracted to one person, but no one else. Then I discovered asexuality. But that was defined as no sexual attraction to any people, so I knew I couldn't be asexual, even though the rest of the definition seemed to fit. But I couldn't think of myself as hetero-, bi-, or pansexual either, since one person isn't much of a sample size. So I didn't know what I was for a while, and that is why I felt like a freak.

But why do you need a label for that? And why do you assume that other people are less freaks than you are?
Sexual drive is a biological thing, and as such many components get into the equation : hormones, brain chemistry, upbringing etc. It's as complex as the weather, and we can't predict the weather past a few days with the most complex computers.

So why do people think that biology could fit into a few square boxes where people are either this or that and there's no middle-ground? Not everyone works the same way, period
