    I’d just like to say that I’m not defining myself at any point, I’m describing myself.

    A trivial point, maybe, but there’s still plenty of bigots around and the ones around me use phrases like “defining yourself” to minimize and erase lbgtq+ people’s experiences.

      Identifying might be the best word to use, given the psychology literature all tends to use that, but thank you for your critique.
