Description
There are so many labels around these days that it's hard to figure out which one fits you when you're finally ready to come out of the closet. Are you gay, bi, asexual, trans, or something else entirely? Is there even a label for your sexual orientation or gender identity?Under the "other" category would be: queer, questioning, pansexual, heteroflexible, homoflexible, bicurious, intersexual, genderqueer, etc. I would've liked to have had separate doors for each, but that wouldn't have worked out so well aesthetically.

It's a lot harder getting out of that green closet than I thought it'd be.

The way out of the level is the orange door!
But you need a key of bravery and confidence to open this door!
Oh well. I'm fine, here in the first level, "The Closet". There's a laptop with TF2 installed here, I think I'm good.
'cept the outlet's outside... And my cat's unplugged my computer. >.<

A lot of people seem to go out of the orange door, but I really think a lot of them just want to be going out of SOME kind of door...
Personally, I'm in the same position as this person here.
I don't feel like I fit in to any of the catagories. Of course having a name is easier, but I don't want to be just another teenage girl calling themselves bisexual just because they want to have a label. I'm not bisexual. I don't fit any label. I like what I like and that's all that needs to be said on the matter.

I think I'd fall under some sort of mix between a Bisexual and Asexual cause I am attracted by both genders but don't really care to have sex with either... It doesn't really matter though. I don't like all these labels anyway :/ Why can't people just be who they are without having an excuse or title to explain themselves?

You can use labels like these to determine romantic orientation as well. You could definitely be asexual biromantic.

This is amazing, I love how you re-used things to make this. It's really well done too.
And the green door rocks, just saying. It's got nothing to do with me being ace, in the slightest

Fascinating!
Well, you have a lot of time to figure it out still. I personally identified as "questioning" for about four years before I settled on the umbrella term "queer." It's okay to create your own label too, just be prepared to explain it to people.
Also, it sounds like you may be considering that you're trans, if you better identify with a male body. Have you considered using toys as penetration devices, since you lack a penis and constructed penises are still pretty experimental and not so recommended...?

I have to do a lot of explaining already, about Asperger and cutting and stuff... but I like it in a way
And yep, I was wavering on this trans thing, but I didn't dare to identify as such because, as you said, full transition is pretty cumbersome and still not the same as the real thing. Toys...um... I mean, what's the point if you can't feel what you're doing?

I've heard of some people who use their toys so much that they develop a sort of phantom limb-like perception, and they really DO feel like they can feel their "penis." It's pretty neat.

Wow! Awesome, if it works. However, I've been thinking... there are nerve/wire interfaces in artificial limb already, right? Why not modify that technology? Hmm, that would be interesting.
