Where the individual feels that their sexual preference cannot be defined by labels.

Then maybe, just maybe, the individual's perception or feeling as to whether or not their demonstrated pattern of attraction is consistent with one that has a name is not what's relevant. What's relevant is whether their actual pattern of attraction has a name. This is the mental gymnastics I played with myself for years. Yea so what if I'm attracted to women all the time and never men. It doesn't make me ~ gay ~. 🙄 Again, if perception of reality is all that matters, why do we consider schizophrenics to be mentally ill?
