Except there's a page full of people who have provided you with an explanation. I agree with the person who said they feel like this is a poor faith argument. You know that the person you responded to meant "same" to mean "similar". You are choosing to equate sensitive identifying information with what a person identifies as/with and they are not "similar". Saying, "I'm a lesbian that likes dragons," is not the same as giving someone information they can then use to get into your accounts or track you down in real life. All I'm getting from your argument is that you have a problem with pride flags, but are looking for some type of argument that makes you look like it's a logistical issue for you and not what it actually is.
