I mean, we just ignore the characters that have never indicated sexual preference. Also, I'm not sure self identification matters. Clara, for instance, never explicitly self identified as Bi. In the show itself it was ambiguous though strongly hinted at. In the books it was pretty much confirmed but she, again, never explicitly said she was Bi. Indication of sexual preference should be the standard, not self identification, and multiple categories has already agreed to be unworkable for similar reasons to what you outlined.
