[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am an older millennial growing up with female or male as the only 2 gender identities. However now every date app and website sign up has changed to a myriad of gender options. Is it just me or is it ridiculous? CIS gender, demisexual, pansexual, hetereoflexible, bisexual, uses she/he pronouns, and the list goes on. I don't even know what half of the hundred of gender identities mean. Who thought this up and did they do this to make life more complicated? Are there more non heterosexual people in America now?[/quote]

Demisexual, pan sexual, and heteroflexible are not gender identities. They are sexualities. Someone can be cisgender and straight, bi, gay, pansexual or heteroflexible in terms of who they are attracted to. Demisexual means you are only attracted sexually when you have a romantic connection.

I think this will bother you less if you learn the meanings of the terms.

For what it matters, I’m a middle aged, cisgender, straight woman.[/quote]
