You didn't include transsexual. What if you think you have two sides out of which one likes guys and one likes girls?

You also missed pansexual
and a sexual
also 'metrosexual' (although I can't say that without a hint of sarcasm)

You're seeming to suggest that sexuality can be defined by a number of delineated categories and a final 'don't know' box?

The whole concept of sexuality categories is a social construction, much like gender.
Sexuality can be, and is, something more fluid in nature, not limited by pigeon-hole-ing people into certain categories, and related stereotypes.
Whoever you vote for.

It's not that I disagree, but ... it's already a fairly respectfully long list ;) ...

Gender is often determined rather easily by looking for dangly bits. 99% of the time, that's a good indication one way or the other. What happens from there, how the bits are used, can happen any which way, and is fluid like you descibe.
Reality was never my strong point.

I think they mean that gender is the mental image of where you set yourself on the masculine-feminine axle while sex is the physical setting determined by hormones and organs.

I thought the whole point of placing oneself on any such axis at all is already a social construct? :P

Ummm...do you know what that means? It means you're not seuxually attracted to any sex or not sexually active. Generally children are asexual up until puberty. Some people even continue to be after puberty usually due to a defect in their hormones.

Why do you want to know so badly? What's with you and the demographics? It's getting to an extremely contreversal subject now.

And I'm "straight as a ruler" as is, quite frankly, anyone sane.
