I agree with Jenny Lyte on this thread, as well.

Surprise, surprise.

Personally, I don't care how a person wants to self-identify and I'm of the opinion that anyone who does care is the one with the problem.

And I think diversity is important. I think appreciating diversity is very important. The challenge for us all is to overcome the anxiety and prejudices that are caused by diversity, not to squelch it or pretend that it doesn't exist. I'm always very suspicious of these kinds of arguments. To me they sound like a cop-out.
