The comments are pure cancer. I'm cut-pasting a few choice sentences from a comment chain:

FTM person: Eh, my thing with this is personal identification is, well, personal. I’m a trans guy, the guy I’m currently seeing ID’s as straight if you ask him point blank. If you spend time and talk to him he admits that it’s much more nuanced than that. My ex husband also ID’d as straight, despite having multiple relationships with men, and women, and both FtM and MTF folks. [...]

Reply from a different FTM: Bro, you're a man seeing a man who calls himself straight aka claims he's only attracted to women. That's beyond suspicious. Why would he not just say bisexual? The whole point of labels is to make things easier and quicker to understand.

FTM person: Because it’s personal labels? I ID as bi, even though there’s like no women I’d actually date. [...]

Have you ever been so angry you just want to shit yourself like a baby??? OMG

I feel pity for these people...

It looks like, on some level, they recognize that the concept of being “gay” is being erased... for that matter, the concept of being STRAIGHT is also being erased...

But their ideology conflicts with that... so they’re desperately trying to preserve SOME meaning in these words while trying to pretend they aren’t the ones erasing them... so they expand it just a little bit at a time.

Very confusing.
