"No labels" rhetoric isolates people from their community, history and culture. It keeps people from being able to articulate themselves and ask for what they need.It promotes a false sense of unity that only serves to further the dominant classes in society. It is a lazy way of getting out of understanding and digesting complex issues.I dislike this rhetoric and approach.
#important#saying there is no labels' is as much a prison as not thinking outside of them#it took me so much time to realise that people telling not to label myself when I described myself as bi ace were the worst for me#when they asked me 'not to put myself in a box' like they were doing me a favour#they're the worst even with 'the best intentions' and 'really care' and 'didn't know' fuck that#because by no labels#they mean 'I don't want to have to think of you as something different from me and my clear hetero or homo side of the fence'#society
