    It's like the whole rose by any other name thing. Yeah, it would smell as sweet, but it wouldn't be a rose if we called it something else. Would it?

One would be miserable to wear suits if one doesn't enjoy it. Therefore, however you call the person, the social smell of theirs won't change no matter what they wear - unless they haven't been something other than a rose already. You see what I mean?
