Can I be Gay despite being Genderqueer and Asexual?

I've been told recently that I can't be gay because I identify as genderqueer/gender-fluid/agender and asexual.

I have always been attracted to men (I was assigned as a male at birth) and recently came out as gay.

However, I also have never felt fully connected to my assigned sex. I have more feminine stereotypical characteristics than male characteristics, however I believe I'm gender fluid as these characteristics deviate situationally.

On top of this, I'm asexual as I have virtually no desire to have sex with anyone.

I classify myself as gay because I'm romantically/physically attracted to men while my assigned sex is male.

I think it's important to note that I don't identify as female, even though I have more feminine characteristics than male. I still use male pronouns.

So, I guess I just want to know, is it appropriate to call myself gay? I can't even comprehend how I would describe myself otherwise.

Also to note, I'm very comfortable calling myself gay, so I would only change it if something hecka-more suitable exists.

Cheers.

 

Thanks for responding so quickly.

And yeah, I am comfortable with that label, it was just confusing hearing people say that my labels were contradictory - I couldn't find anything to prove them wrong either so I was just wondering if I was in fact the one who was wrong.

Though I've always been told to use whatever label is most comfortable so I'm glad you re-valuated that.
