Just a thought, y'know.  Carry on.
We are all part of this culture, and redefinition of words in a social context affects us all.  It affects our view of laws, of manners, and of ethics.  I think my views represent the majority, though perhaps not on AF, and I feel perfectly comfortable discussing them.  And so I should.

No doubt you should feel comfortable doing so, and I'm not counseling otherwise.

I am, however, suggesting one should not be put out about the self-identification others have for themselves.

Also, I'm unsure what word is being redefined. Would you be so kind as to be specific?
