I only have 6 icons right now so I don't have loading issues. Though if I had 100+ I probably wouldn't remember them all with just keywords. XD I guess it depends on the cache options, it could be an annoying load the first time, but if LJ allows loading the icons from the cache and the user is able to use their cache, it could work out. A lot of people clear the cache after they're done browsing though. I heard the changes have not been implemented to phone apps yet, I wonder how/if they'll handle that.
I always thought of anything related to the mind as an orientation and gender as the biological thing. A physical fact like saying someone is tall or short, a thing of DNA rather than choice, with the choice being the orientation. Although for statistical purposes it would make more sense to gather data by orientation more so than gender as it would more closely influence people's choices. Yet labeling it as "orientation" might make some people feel like they're saying too much, even if they're saying the same hing they would be saying by interpreting "gender" accordingly to their orientation. But that's getting into the marketing aspects of it.
