Do lesbians say they "identify as a lesbian?" Is this a thing? "Identify?" Dude told me yesterday his daughter "identifies as a lesbian" and it struck me as startlingly homophobic, but what do I know, I'm not in the club. So I thought I would ask The Twitter to weigh in.
Replying to @MeanwhileIPaint
"Identify as" is the semantic expression of mind-body dualism. Who or what is it that is "identifying"? Whereas the good old verb "to be" carries no such separation.
