"Why do you insist on labels? Trans, bisexual, lesbian, asexual, we're all just human!"
This is why.
This poor woman was clearly in love with her best friend. If she grew up in a more tolerant environment, knowing those labels and the people behind them, she might've known she was a lesbian (or bi) way earlier. Labels are important and we all have them, whether we realise it or not.
