Yes "asexual" is a sexuality. Well technically it is a leck of one, it means you don't experience sexual arousal for any sex/gender
I think that's ok with distinguishing between cis and trans, I understand why it is done. Some people do not see "genderqueer" as trans though. Trans tends to mean that you see yourself totally as the opposite gender you were assigned at birth, while pretty much all of the "genderqueer, pangender, omnigender" etc all mean something in between male and female. They all mean the same thing, which is why to me they are pointless terms, when something like "androgynous" can simply refer to all of them. Creating so many new identities that all mean basically the same thing confuses people.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
