This is (usually) the result of years of not being to openly label yourself, hiding who you are, and feeling alone and not part of a broader community.

Just like a compressed spring will then expand after being let go before returning to a more balanced state, when society slowly gave queer people the space to at least exist openly, people started looking really deeply at "who they are" and "what communities do I belong to" and "how do I find what I want in a sea of diversity" which in turn gave rise to surprisingly specific microlabeling.

The tendency is for this to tone down, with broader categories. But who knows, we can't really predict language and societal change like that.

I never understood the need to label yourself at all but I mean if it helps that's great I guess

Why would you not want to be placed in the smallest possible box?

Not my pig, not my farm. Imma let the queers be queer and just try my best.

I'm trans and ace and this stuff confuses the everloving fuck out of me. A lot of stuff confuses me though, so I don't judge.

People who ask them out that they say yes to. I'm a straight man who doesn't have much experience with these kind of things, but I'm pretty sure you're overthinking it

Pan. These folks are pansexual and non-gender conforming.

Beyond that it's a free-for-all.

Whether they prefer pronouns or not is individual to them. Whether they identify as lesbian or not is up to them. Whether they embrace "queer" as a rollup identity or not is up to them.

You're asking all these questions like they care to answer them. They do not. They want to do their own thing and be their own best version of themselves and date like-minded people.
