Also, and again personally, cutter is a very difficult word to use, especially when you are one. I think maybe it's how my friend who is gay calls himself a poof but would be offended if someone else referred to him that way. It can be a sign if strength if you are that person, but a derogatory term from someone who doesn't understand.
Oh, okay. That makes sense.
