A lot of these Tumblr identities seem like unnecessary classifications. One that I've seen is demiromantic which googling gives the definition as someone who "only experiences romantic attraction after developing an emotional connection beforehand." Even if this describes a persons attraction, who cares? Why do you need this classification to be at the forefront of your identity? As far as scholarly work, most of these classifications seem very vague and don't lend themselves to any objective scientific investigation.

It's going to be difficult to find any studies on most of these terms as they a very new. Google trend searches on most of the terms show that they didn't exist before 2011 or even later and some like aporagender don't have even volume to show on a graph. A lot of these seem like vague personality traits that people are trying to place some big importance on to show how unique they are. The problem with this is that most of the people claiming these traits are teenagers and teenagers have a long history of feeling like they don't fit into societies norms. If there were people of all ages claiming to be demiromantic or aporagender or whatever, I would be more apt to take those descriptors seriously.
