> I do not have a fucking disorder! I just sleep differently!

It seems to me that if the issue is classified as medical disorder, it may have some advantages in relation with society, e.g. requirement for employers to accommodate it.

It is generally much stronger position than 'it is just my preference'.

You are right, but that seems orthogonal to the poster’s comment.

Preference and disorder are not the only two options. Difference is another one.
