It seems like you just want to be argumentative for the sake of it. If you review our comments, you'll find where you called it pretending and you'll not find where I said he couldn't call himself whatever he wants.

In the meantime, consider why many people don't want to be lumped in with people they have nothing in common with. If you take that thought seriously, you might learn to see the world somewhat differently.

Maybe I would learn something if you could actually provide some evidence besides being needlessly patronizing. Who are those people? What do their feelings have to do with a fact that there exist a set of traits which which could be used to subdivide us into groups?

I encourage you to look into that all of that in good faith if you ever do become genuinely interested.

Giving me a link to all those disgruntled people would help me get started.
