And if you would like to replace my term "sexuality" with your preferred terms "masculinity/femininity," go for it. You will find the meaning of my post unchanged.
Ubiquitous ambiguity is as much of an oversimplification as non-overlapping masculine/feminine categories. The world is complicated and there's room for lots of opinions, but this thread is full of career underdogs. I expect most people here have very similar and "liberal" views on this topic, but are unable to pass up the opportunity for a joke or to posture as open-minded intellectuals.

The earliest study I know of, by Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin, dates from the late 1940s. "Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories ... The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects." The fact that you are not aware of this well-known and fundamental literature indicates that you speak from a position of near complete ignorance on sexuality. As I stated earlier, logical arguments cannot be valid and sound without true premises.
This will be the only time I indulge your demand for citation. Educate yourself; it's not my job.
