      Labels SUCK!!! Labels are a way to judge. I’m more than a label. Labels cause segregation, prejudices. Labels are harmful. I’m sorry, but I don’t like labels at all.

      My Labels: Bipolar 2, Clinically Depressed, Addict, Learning Disabled, ADHD, Speech Impaired

      These labels, according to this cast, are what I should embrace? I’M NOT ANY OF THESE!!! These are symptoms … mere symptoms. I’m MORE than this.

      I don’t know, labels separate a country which is trying to end separation. Embrace your labels and I”ll watch as this already separated country continues to break and spread further and further apart.

      Doesn’t anyone hear how this is separating us? How labeling produces stigmata?

      BTW … I’m bisexual, don’t know shit about it as far as I like Tran men-to-female, men, women.

    I think labels are very important. I have been excluded from the gay male community when dating women and immediately if I date a gay man I am suppose to say I am finally “gay”. After a while I found my own community. I have had to heal any resentment I had of the gay community and straight community. Now by finding other bi pan “queer” men and women trans and genderqueer people I am finding myself in a much more empowered place. An identity of bisexual can actually have the power to unite rather than segregate.
