I'm thinking that gender and sexuality aren't even a simple spectrum, they're a multi-dimensional space. There are some blobby fuzzy-bordered regions of that space that have traditionally been called "Man" and "Woman", but the more we look into it the more complicated it all gets and the more arbitrary that partitioning becomes. We're already starting to see that there may be portions of that space that likely don't belong to either category, or where the categories overlap, so I'm of the opinion that treating them as super important might be a bad idea that's bound to lead to heartbreak and confusion.
