This is not difficult to understand, like at all

Here are some charts to help people understand.

It is a 7 point scale but the most anyone can be is 6/7

So a 6,6 is maxed out on both the male and female scale and yet presents as gay, bi, trans etc. - but def. not agender? Why?  Wouldn't the max. female and max. male cancel each other out and they would be just agender?  Wouldn't a 1,1; 2,2; 3,3; 4,4; and a 5,5 present the same way as a 6,6?  How does a 1,0 present compared to a 6,0? The 1,0 works out on the elliptical and builds models while a 6,0 deadlifts all day and wrenches on his diesel dually?  That chart is fuckery of the highest degree.

You are all probably just confused because of the chart format.  Try this much more intuitive illustration of gender ID:

Notice, no labels because stop being so binary about gender.

You can make up any format you want about the gender spectrum but it will never be accurate.

First off, see my first chart: Gender and sexuality are not linked so your reference to gay or bi has nothing to do with this chart.

Second off, male and female do not "cancel each other out".  This reminds me of when I was a kid and thought salt and pepper cancelled each other out so if I put on too much salt I'd just add more pepper then when I got too much pepper just add more salt until the food was both too salty and too peppery even though in theory it should be neutral.

Of course this chart isn't the perfect description of the gender spectrum but it is a way for people to try to understand it rather than just two check boxes:

there's actually a strong correlation.  it's not far-fetched to posit a causal link.

Are you saying (for instance) that all females (6,1) would be attracted to males (1,6)? No, I don't think that is correct. Haven't you ever heard of a lipstick lesbian?

The vast majority of females (6,1) are attracted to males (1,6).

Ok, I did not actually know the definition of genderqueer, I just assumed they were throwing all "others" into that category since they did not fit into "agender".  Which leads to another flaw - where on the gender spectrum do LGBT fall?  They do not get included? Why?

Of course they do not cancel each other out.  I was demonstrating a flaw in the graphic by literally applying what it was displaying.

And yes it is not perfect, and there will never be a perfect way to display the gender spectrum because it is a fallacy.

She is a lesbian and not on the chart.  What does a 3,3 present as?  Butch female? Effeminate male? One is still male and the other is still female.

No, this is not a flaw. This chart is for gender only, not sexual orientation or sexual attraction.

You can be anywhere on this chart and still have any sexual orientation/attraction. For instance there might be a female (6,1) who is attracted to males (heterosexual) or there might be a female (6,1) who is attracted to females (homosexual) and there is a spectrum inbetween.

To take sexual orientation into account, you would need to make the chart into a 3D or 4D chart with the spectrum of sexual orientation on the third (into out of the page) and fourth dimension. Like this chart would need to be incorporated as the third & fourth dimensions.
