We know what sexual orientation terms mean.

The only way to gain power one doesn't have by virtue of fitting such a description is to make up a new reality and club people into submission with it. Hence the cognitive dissonance. Many are trying to be nice and accommodating and give the benefit of the doubt.

That might have worked without the high percentage of Cluster Bs misappropriating that open-mindedness for power and control and gratification reasons.
