An LGBTQ dating app has gone so far down the rabbit hole of sexual identity that it offers users 325 potential gender/sexuality combinations to help find the perfect match.
Her, which claims to be “the biggest lesbian app worldwide”, is a continuation of the likes of Tinder and Grindr, but exclusively for gay women – or any of the other 324 possible permutations.

The baffling array of choice comes from Her’s dedication to inclusivity, and as such is open to the bi-curious, Two-Spirited, polysexual and pangender alike.
To this end it offers 13 sexuality options, and 25 different genders, which we list in full below.
In total this gives rise to a total 325 potential combos – though the chances of finding a flexisexual mak nyah in your area are probably slender.
Obviously, the only thing you can’t be is a man.
Users can pick able to pick the following sexuality options:
Lesbian
Queer
Gay
Bisexual
Bi-Curious
Fluid
Pansexual
Flexisexual
Polysexual
Asexual
TBD
Questioning
Straight
And combine them with any of the following gender identities:
Female
Trans Female
Non-Binary
Boi
Agender
Androgynous
Bigender
Cis Female
FTM
Gender Fluid
Genderqueer
Intersex
MTF
Other
Pangender
Trans Person
Transgender
Transsexual
Two-Spirit
Hijra
Kathoey
Mak Nyah
Muxe
Waria
Mahu
The level of choice is enough to give New York City a run for its money. The city government recognises 31 gender identities, but has no separate sexuality field so leaves citizens with fewer than a tenth of the options proffered by Her.
And more options still could follow. The developers of the app actively invite users to submit suggestions in case any identities have been missed and inadvertently discriminated against.
