Physically attracted to and emotionally attracted to are missing 'all of the above' and 'none of the above' options.

It's a little reductive (over-simplified) but it isn't bogus either. It is showing merely that four areas that we generally lump together - and thence confuse - are four different, yet related, phenomena.

It doesn't show the "none of/all of the above" just like it doesn't show the overlap. But then, it is a graphic just exposing that these areas are different ... It isn't a master's thesis ... :P

Didn't say it was bogus ;)

But without them, misses out people like asexuals and us 'don't have any preference' people :)

It is to be filled in by hand indeed Akkarin. Below on the same page you can find an example. :)

Well that makes a lot more sense!

I tried filling it in myself but actually found it too simplistic... it was quite difficult to express how I view my gender, and the 'physically attracted to' section actually didn't make sense to me when I tried to complete it.

It probably is easier to complete if you have a more 'rigid' definition of your own gender, and who you're attracted to.

I'm an 'anything goes' kind of person in both identity, expression, and who I'm attracted to :) So in the end I did this...

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen (and I've watched Alex Jones shows lol).

It's like they are inventing new ways to confuse kids and over-complicate a pretty simple subject.

It may not be simple to everybody, though. And, having a way to navigate their own confusion, instead of trying to stuff it down in conformity, that's helpful for some.
