I'm not offended by these categories or anything like that. I can see that other people find them personally relevant and meaningful, and that's great! But it is an arbitrary categorization scheme, and it's not going to accurately describe everyone. So why get pissy that some people aren't using it to describe themselves?
Because everyone deciding to post "oh im individual i dont fit into these boxes" neatly derails the entire thread. The original post was asking where you fit, not whether you're individual or not, and if you're not willing to dedicate a little bit of creative thought to working out in which one of those categories you fit in, you're just being awkward for the sake of it. I don't fit into any one box accurately, but rather than post something worthless, I tried and found a better definition. I get pissy because this is a good topic being cheapened by people refusing to participate.
