Well, that was my point: Metro never had anything to do with gender or gender ambiguity, and, unlike most people believe, it never meant "Androgynous" or "Cross-fashionable", or whatever the above story was meant to define.

Metrosexual has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
Matter of fact, I dated a woman(born as) who lived her life gender queer and metrosexual. Seriously...people at times were confused if I was with a man or woman. But always, always dressed to the 9's and looking clean and put together
It was simply a way of reducing easy public stereotypes before they got out of hand and caused real damage: "Shuddup, I'm smart, I'm neat, and I'm married! In fact, that's the way she likes it, so there!"
If we now have a confusion of dictionary definitions...well, anyone want to theorize how exactly THAT happened, all of a sudden? What's the matter, did we come up with a new trendy word that didn't happen to cutely market gays' own self-image in the public mind, and left them out?--Well, have to fix that! For a while, there, we were almost talking about something else!
And as for "why can't we just talk about movies"...well, why CAN'T we?
Do dog lovers make self-marketing stereotypes about who owns a Pekingese and who owns a Labrador?--Or is having a hobby something that everyone in the world has, which means deep down you might probably secretly be a plain old boring Everybody?
