Your comment is hella abstract, which makes sense considering your username. :thonk:

I think I agree with you though? Labels are typically just shorthand descriptions for others, not instructions on who / what we have to be.

One of the cool things about people is we even outgrow the labels used for us over time! The easiest example is around labels based on age, but for a lot of folx it can be based around gender or sexuality as well.

There was a period of time where I was definitely a dude. That shifted as I experienced life and I’m nonbinary now. I love that I’ve had that experience and also that’s definitely not the same journey others have, I’m just a genderfluid dude who also isn’t a dude lol
