I really, really like the Genderbread Person for this reason.

Never heard of it. Pretty nice. I'd just change the 'and' in sexual orientations since people desire and feeling can target different types.

It actually oversimplifies all four dimensions, if you can even claim with any surety that there are exactly four dimensions. There are things like "third gender" [1] and there are demisexuals [2] and there are asexuals and so on.

What I like about it is that it's just slightly too big as a concept presentation (though it feels like it isn't) and mostly evokes the recognition that There Are Things You Didn't Know About.
