hal, though i am all for your effort to open sexuality and let it just be sexuality, i think this would be a non-productive way to go about eliminating discriminating ideas.
i think these words are just as inaccurate in describing the world as all other words.
i am a minnesotan.
i am bisexual.
some people may use stereotypes to fill in blanks about who i am, but more enlightened people will take what "minnesotan" and "bisexual" mean at face value and not fill in blanks with assumptions.
if anything it would be more appropriate to simply encourage the more general words rather than completely ban them, as such an approach would be awkward for almost all parties, i think.
