Ahh, of course. Because it's possible for our sexual orientation to be an insult, but not other people's... mmm, right. It is harder to argue against it when people use it like that.
They are extremely creepy people. And I hate people assuming what beliefs I ascribe to. It happens a lot when I tell non-Southern people I'm from the South, in particular. But there's also a lot of that when I see people telling others they're asexual... a lot of people assume it's a value judgment. It's somehow a lot creepier when they're praising you for it though.
It does. "How far we still have to go" seems ... like a road we'll never see the end of. "Progress we are making" at least lets us look behind us to see what we've done so far.
