I really respect your viewpoint here. I've been more and more frustrated by our society's tendency (even in areas where the intention is "sympathetic")to feel like there's a need to label everything a person could do or 'be' before the issues can be addressed. It just seems like we're creating boxes when they don't need to be there. I don't identify myself with any particular group at all, and I find that a lot of times when people do, they become marginalized- and worse, they tend to lose a bit of 'self' when being absorbed into whatever group they're associated. It's like a ridiculous, gigantic Venn diagram where everything has a category or a name. Perhaps we'll be better off when people are able to find a home in the gray areas, and not be thought less of for it.
