No, a label doesn’t define your whole being—but in a world that constantly tries to generalize or erase difference, labels give people the power to assert who they are on their own terms. Labels are important, for example if you’re trans and going on a date, being upfront about your identity allows the other person to make informed choices and ensures that any connection is built on authenticity, not assumptions.
im gonna copy ur yap session word for word and submit this as my application to yale cuz ur writing is fire !?!?!
Even the centipede part?
as someone who doesn't use labels, I think, respectfully, you should try getting to know people and let them get to know you.
it adds a uniqueness to it
Topic: Labels.
I realized I haven't been on my bullshit lately and then a thought crept into my mind like that fucking centipede that crawled between my ass in the third grade.
Why does everything have to have a damn label? Why do we have to be this or that? Why do I have to be a boy or girl, or non binary? Can't I just be me? Why does it matter if I kiss boys or girls? Why do I have to wear pants or a skirt? Why does it matter if I know the name of the exact style I dress?
What does anything matter?
Recently someone said It's weird to not have a label on yourself, to not "know" your true identity. But honestly, I don't wake up and look in the mirror just to see a lesbian or a gay person, a boy a girl. None of that. I wake up and I see myself.
Can't I just be me? Rina?
At this point everything I say is one big rehearsal. Oh what's my gender? A girl! What's your sexuality? Oh pan! What's your style? Haha just basic stuff!
Like goddamn. Can't I just wake up and be gorgeous and just myself?
This life shit is getting out of hand.
Yap session: Concluded!!
