In my Human Sexuality class, we went over the theoretical models of gender and sexual identity. They all seemed too simplistic. (Freud’s is only heterosexual and homosexual, Kinsey’s and Storms’ don’t include asexual or gender neutral people, etc.)
I decided to make one with three axes, one for male, one female, and one labeled “X” for whatever other axis a given individual would like. (If the pictures are unclear, “X” is meant to go back in space as a third dimension) As a cisgendered heterosexual male, my sexual identity is the first example: (0,10,0) (10,0,0). The first set of coordinates corresponds to your gender identity, and the second corresponds to whom you are attracted to.
What do you think? Am I missing anything?
