Sexual Attraction v2

Description

This is version 2 of my attempt at visualizing sexual attraction.
This time, I tried a different approach, focusing more on the individual rather than the labels.

I created a poll asking everyone to check what they are. You'll find it here: [link]

A Male: anyone who identifies himself as a Man.
B Genderqueer: anyone who identifies
himself/herself/themself/emself/zirself/hirself/...
as both Man and Woman, as neither,
or as completly outside the gender binary.
C Female: anyone who identifies herself as a Woman.
---
1 attracted to A, Androsexual
2 attracted to C, Gynesexual
3 attracted to B, Skoliosexual
4 attracted to A and C, Bisexual
5 attracted to A and B, Andro-Skoliosexual
6 attracted to B and C, Gyne-Skoliosexual
7 attracted to A, B and C, Pansexual
8 attracted to none, Asexual

You can still have a look at version 1 here:

My main critique with this is why use A, B, and C? Why not M, N and either F? The ABC abstracts things one more level than is necessary. Also of course Make and Female relate to sex primarily rather than gender, whereas Man and Woman is more of a gender thing. I might identify as being a woman without identifying as female, for example.

A skolio was a banquet song at a feast, extolling noble qualities of either the host or guest. It seems a bit esoteric to me. Why not just "queer"? Also, like many other charts, it assumes that relationships, romance and sexual attraction can only be distinguished by reference to sexuality and gender. Power, security, and other factors play a part as well, I'm sure.
