And, I mean... WHO can meet THAT standard? Being the very embodiment of uninhibited slutdom? It seems set up to make everyone feel like a prude! Even if they just have average levels of self-consciousness, self-doubt, and (dare I say it) modesty.

Average levels of self-consciousness fall in the middle of the spectrum, and since some of the moral(two sides of the same coin really) enforcers on the extremes are very dichotomous in their thought processes, any sexual expression(or lack therof) deemed more conservative then their ideal is dogmatic behavior of the "religious right", instead of personal choice. It's like they have their very own custom kind of overton window that they in their ideological bubble, think is standard.

Perfectly-put! "Gendery terms" (good one!) as... insulation. A way of ostensibly talking about sex... without actually talking about sex. AKA plausible deniability! (Though YMMV on the "plausible" part.)

I also like to think of it as throwing out bright hot, colourful flares that only appear to be about sex to draw off the heat-seeking questions away from their actual sex life as they fly away to the safe-space of subjects about gender expression(blue shirt or pink?) instead of ever talking about sexual attraction.

"Thou Shalt Be Sexually Unconstrained" = sexual orientations are a no-no, since they're as much about who you AREN'T attracted to as who you are. Goes double for homosexuality, because it's: 1.] exclusive (rules out the opposite sex); and 2.] "supposed" to be all about unbridled, wanton, let-yer-freak-flag-fly licentiousness (at least in wokesters' eyes), so how DARE gay people ever say "no"???!!! IT'S UNNATURAL I TELL YOU

It's like if people think they're "tolerant" or "accepting" of minority sexualities then these minorities practically owe it to them to conform to their stereotypes and figuratively dance like a monkey for them. And the fact is, a lot of lgb do this in order to be accepted by the mainstream. And this just confirms their bias that it's fine to expect and even demand that same-sex attracted people to behave this stereotyped way, especially homosexuals. There really is an air of "These sexualities are made-up and ours is the true real sexuality" about it all.

Terror of being a prude disables liberals' pervert-alarm, so they can no longer tell when something (or someone) is creepy. Explains their embrace not only of fetishistically-motivated transgenderism, but also assorted WTF-ery such as "drag kids", drag queen story hour, etc.

The dedication to open-mindedness is a double-edged sword. Neither necessarily good or bad, but is synonymous with "good" among liberals, so it is simultaneously a liberal's greatest strength and weakness depending on the situation they are dealing with. If you are dealing with entrenched, old-fashioned thinking with no basis in reality, then it's good. But when it comes to this TQ stuff, it's been mostly harmful with few redeeming consequences.
