It's not really important for me. But it happened, that I asked it myself. And as there is a thread here I just wrote it down. Didn't expect, that you react in this way

Of course, I used your post to make a more general point that I and several others here have made time and again. For me, this question serves no purpose whatsoever except to label people. And for what purpose? It seems to me that self-labeling has very little importance, even for those who ask such questions about themselves. But for society -- and particularly for those who reject anything that is "different" from themselves and who use labels ultimately as a way to dismiss and discriminate -- these labels are very important. So, my sarcasm was not really directed at you personally, but at the entire labeling enterprise.

Asking about how to label one's self, again, is not a question I wish to pursue for myself. I certainly respect that others may want to ask. I do think it's important, though, not to generalize unless you can back up your generalization with actual data.
