Actually . . . yeah, that makes total sense to me. Probably because I have a friend who is asexual and he's been patient enough to explain a lot of stuff to me recently.

Here's something else I'd like to throw into the pot for ideas and opinions, which I was discussing with a gay friend recently, and which may be seen as another piece of the fluid gender identity/fluid sexual orientation spectrum (or maybe not?):

While gender identity and sexual orientation are separate issues, there is some overlap in that some cisgendered gay/lesbian/bisexual people are seen as "gender non-conforming" as much as some trans people are seen that way. In other words, specifically butch lesbians and effeminate gay men are seen as trying to emulate the opposite gender, instead of being seen as men or women who aren't comfortable with the macho, straight-acting or girly stereotypes. Anyone have thoughts on this?
