Why do we need all that? Why do homosapians have to label and categorize everybody? We strive to be individuals. We strive to be free. But whenever we can we have to find a label for ourselves. We don't need it. I almost want to go back to fifties when people asked "What are ya, queer?" Neat and easy like Johnny Unitas' hair.
There is even a fancy word for straight: CISGENDER. Know what it means? It describes related types of gender identity where individuals' experiences of their own gender match the sex they were assigned at birth. Cis means "on the side of". You know it is getting out of control when the straight people are getting in on the act. Straight smart people. Actually they have been using it since the 90's. Maybe they started it.
For me, I say stop the alphabet soup at L - for leave me alone.
