===Unlabeled sexuality=== Unlabeled sexuality is when an individual chooses not to label their sexual identity. This identification could stem from one's uncertainty about their sexuality or their unwillingness to conform to a sexuality because they don't necessarily like labels, or they wish to feel free in their attractions instead of feeling forced into same, other, both, or all attractions because of their sexual identity. Identifying as unlabeled could also be because of one's "unwillingness to accept their sexual minority status."<ref name="ReferenceB">{{cite journal | last1 = Diamond | first1 = Lisa M | year = 2007 | title = A dynamical systems approach to the development and expression of female same-sex sexuality | journal = Perspectives on Psychological Science | volume = 2 | issue = 2| pages = 142β161 | doi=10.1111/j.1745-6916.2007.00034.x| pmid = 26151957 | s2cid = 9799972 }}</ref> Because being unlabeled is the purposeful decision of no sexual identity, it is different from bisexuality or any other sexual identity. Those who are unlabeled are more likely to view sexuality as less stable and more fluid and tend to focus more on the βperson, not the gender.β<ref name="ReferenceC">{{cite journal | last1 = Brooks | first1 = Kelly D. | last2 = Quina | first2 = Kathryn | year = 2009 | title = Women's sexual identity patterns: Differences among lesbians, bisexuals, and unlabeled women | journal = Journal of Homosexuality | volume = 56 | issue = 8| pages = 1030β1045 | doi=10.1080/00918360903275443| pmid = 19882425 | s2cid = 29970857 }}</ref> It is reported that some women who identify as unlabeled did so because they are unable or uncertain about the types of relationships they will have in the future. As such, this divergence from sexual labels could provide for a person to be able to more fully realize their "true" sexuality because it frees them from the pressure of liking and being attracted to who their sexual identification dictates they should like.<ref name="ReferenceB"/><ref name="ReferenceC"/>
