Its hard to charitably respond to this article. Having more taxonomy doesn't remove anything. You haven't lost anything. You are just angry about change.

having labels shoved down my throat is not a life i find to be worth living nor one that i find to be in my own best interests , nobody is stopping you from disagreeing which makes me wonder what makes you so angry about it ;)

language is a mere symbol that points to meaning , the point attempting to be made is that people are becoming lost in symbol

If 2 people use words, and the intended meaning is properly conveyed between them, they used the correct words. I feel like you might be getting lost in the symbolic.

well that's an ironic point for you to make considering it appears my point was entirely miscommunicated , I'll try again by saying that people are addicted to labels and identification which in my opinion is not in anyone's best interests , if it still seems to you that I am lost then this conversation is itself a bit lost too
