Everyone needs to find or invent terminology and tools to help define the elements(including the mystical and undefinable) of their existence. At least she and people like her are/were courageous enough to throw away the old tool set in order to define something for themselves.

The way I figure it when some people LARP, they just go all the friggin' way with it.

BS aside, making the world safe for oddballs seems worthwhile so long as they are of mostly harmless varieties.
