I understand why you don't want to call yourself 'childfree,' and like I said, it's certainly your right to make that call. But I do think it's unfortunate, since it further encourages the redefinition of a highly useful term from "person who's made the conscious choice not to have children" to "crazy person who hates children." And when it becomes not just something you don't just refrain from calling yourself, but something you make public statements about *not* calling yourself, that's when I feel the need to step up and defend the term.
