Somewhere along the line, I stopped being told I was "white" and was told that I was Caucasian. Had a bit of a problem with that one -- I am Welsh/Irish/German for sure, Native American by family legend [one of the vanished tribes of Maryland's Eastern shore] and probably some other stuff, but as far as I know, there isn't any Middle Eastern or Russian, but the box on the form that used to say "white" now says "Caucasian", so I check it.
Somewhere along the line I stopped being heterosexual and got told that I was straight. Now I consider myself pansexual, or maybe sapiosexual, but I'm not homosexual so I am apparently "straight" these days.
Somewhere along the line, I stopped being female and am now being told that I am cis-gendered. I had to look that one up -- what in the devil is a "CIS" anyway and why is that my gender? Turn out it s a Latin prefix meaning "on this side of" VS "trans" which is "on the other side of" so some linguistic genius decided if a man who became a woman or a woman who became a man were "transgender" then folks who stayed the gender that they were born were "cisgender", so that makes me a cis-femail. I think.
All I can say is that figuring out where I "belong" in the different categories is getting to be problematic.
