Well yes. But that shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone, humanity isn't made of absolutes or boxes or borders.
A spectrum you can be 'on', as the word suggests, is just a range or a degree within a classification so we have a common concept when communicating about things. If we had to develop a new word for every unique combination of attributes it would become very hard to talk about things.
