The article Anon brings up is basically what I wanted to bring up, but not on a scientific lvl like the article does.

If you just place a few gender orientations/sexualities together like a-sexual; non-binary; pansexual. As heterosexuals and as is proven also a lot of people in the LGBT community, don't exactly know the difference between every sexual orientation. This begs the question if this isn't just human desire to be unique, individualism.

All three will tell a person how they're different from each other, while it's highly likely it'll sound pretty much the same to the peson listening.

The a-sexual might say "I like males & females equally, I'm indifferent about everything ranging inbetween those as well"

The non-binary might say "Hey, I'm don't consider myself part of either male or female gender, but when it comes to sharing my life with another person, I don't really mind what sexual orientation they might have"

The pansexual might say "I love every gender identity, orientation, sexuality"

(Forgive me if that's not what they say :P)

The three in my eyes are practically the same. What makes them feel different is from what I can see --> Personality traits, cultural background and how that portrays different genders, personal beliefs resulting out of the environmental input & personal desire to be placed on a certain point on this gender spectrum, which is based on all contemplation about the previous influences.

Character (the persons individualism), culture (the persons conformity with society) & the sum of both factors, gets a person to conclude how he wants to go through life. Dependant on how hard character & culture push a person in a direction, will influence which gender term the person will take on. The more docile, easily fitting in societies '''a-sexual. The more distancing, dependant on character possibly rebellious or confused non-binary. And to end it the pansexual''' which is in my fair opinion the optimist of the bunch, someone who I feel does it more out of a desire to support his fellow human in his struggle for identitysearching, rather then this counting as a sexual orientation they take on for their own sake.

The conclusion I want to draw is that what you want to do for yourself plays in important part, but how you can help your fellow human within the boundaries of your own comfortability is equally an important part in how a person will conclude the search of his sexual orientation. This can express itself rather explosively outward with activism on the streets or more silently towards their fellow human next door. These different sexual orientations are the front, while what lies behind is the persons own beliefs and principles that he shares with his environment through this gate that is called gender identity.
