his statement on what
he says he is. I think you are upset because my definition of his self-selected label is a negative one. I'm not going to apologize for that.
People can call themselves whatever they want, but it doesn't mean that others need to have a positive view of what they choose. As someone else said, words can mean very different things depending on the context. You might want to look into why the word has taken on a different meaning to different people, instead of just saying "I don't really know the difference, but it sounds mean so I'm still going to complain at that girl for saying it!"
