Not just, but there are so many things that factor into any individual person's sexual attraction. People don't even find everyone within that "preference" umbrella to be attractive. Putting on my Ben Shapiro voice - let's say, hypothetically, that I'm only attracted to men. This doesn't mean that I find all men attractive, or that my genitals get all hot and bothered by someone just for being a man. Expecting people to experience sexual attraction towards someone (I mean, expecting this at all is uuuhhhhhhhhhhh) because they fall under this massive categorical umbrella is... pretty weird, and feels like essentialism.
And also, this discourse veers uncomfortably close to the right wing rhetoric about homosexuality being a choice. And that ain't great.
