Biology actually has a lot of difficulty nailing down words like "species" as there are many useful ways to define a species in biology. Its not surprising that sexuality is a also a concept thats hard to pin down in biology. It is similarly highly useful in biology to define sexuality in multiple different ways - genetically, morphologically etc, but as a concept it doesn't always fit perfectly and its an area where evolution likes to experiment, even in humans.
