It shouldn't be, but it is.

No doubt to some people it is, but to a lot of people it isn’t. It isn’t a smear to me, nor to many people I know.

  • This is entirely missing the point. Until more or less everybody shares this opinion, being publicly labeled as such will still have adverse effects.

    • You can say the same about a lot of other things, e.g. being divorced, being in a same-sex relationship, being adopted: somebody out there will judge you negatively for it, but fearing their judgement is part of what gives it power.
