Very interesting read, both your original post as well as the follow up discussions. I kind of have a similar background, but never quite drop the modifier.

I dont know, it's probably just semantics, which is why I don't take labels too seriously. I don't want to sound like... "I'm too special for labels", but they're more informative to the person I am describing myself to than for me. So I just kind of pick a convention based on who's asking. As for identity, Popeye said it best, "I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam"

lol awesome quote!
Definitely agree that the most important thing is to be sure of ourselves (or to be asking this to find something you're comfortable with), and not be too worried about it.
