Wow. Coming from a scientific background, I would have assumed the scientific meaning in his use of bipolar. I didnt think he meant it as "unreasonable" - more that the nation switches from one emphasis to another. But then I'm more fluid in gender identity also, so switching isn't as big an issue? Why are we saying bipolar is a bad thing? Why can't both things be true, at the same time or at different times?

So my "vote" is for bipolar to become or stay ultimately a positive word. But I think because of my age, I missed the part where it became a stigma word.
