"a defeatist outlook"
I know it seems like i'm being a dick or being confrontational but really you have no idea what that word means. Straight is what straight does and your attempt to redefine what it means is disrespectful no matter how many different ways you try to insult people.
It's like saying we need to redefine what the word gay is. No longer having it mean a male that has sex with males and instead having it mean a male that has sex with everyone and everything under the sun...rainbows included. I don't just feel like i'm right. I am. And no matter how you approach the subject straight will always mean no sex with other men and no sex with other women.
You and others will fail. It isn't pessimist, fatalistic or pushing an idea of doom. The second your movement encroached on the rights of others you lost all ability to say you are fighting for your own. Period. You aren't fighting for your right to be who you are. You're fighting for an ability to dictate who others are. And it's on par with the church telling gays they can just pray it away. But good luck telling the many many straight people on this planet that they just...don't know themselves like you know them. That'll go over real well when you're movement gets started.
Don't believe me? Start walking up to people on the street and tell them they aren't straight to their face. See how it goes. Then do the same for gay people and lesbians. Once again, tell them you know more about their sexuality then they do. Tell them that the definitions they choose to describe themselves with don't work for them because it doesn't work for you.
