Sexual choice and self-perception are apparently different situations. A sexual choice is, as the name suggests, a decision that is made (Apparently) actively. However, there is always a greater or lesser influence of the environment and experience when making this decision, so in reality we do not really control automatically what we decide. When we talk about self-perception we are dealing with the way we see ourselves, and this is something that is even more beyond our control.
However, both aspects have great weight in the sexual orientation of each individual and to a large extent do not depend on our will. Therefore, in my opinion, it is a matter that initially escapes our power of decision, which is why I would qualify it as innate.
A separate discussion would be whether sexual self-perception can be wrong (It's politically incorrect to think that it is in today's society, which does that doesn't mean it's true).
