I think focusing so hard on labels just puts you in a box of whats okay and whats not. If you can help it then try and let some of that go and just focus on being you

It's funny how when it comes to SSA, labels don't matter and if you think they do you're putting people in a box and need to let that go, but when it comes to being trans labels are incredibly important and thinking they don't matter is killing trans people everywhere. These peoples' mental gymnastics would be fascinating if they weren't so homophobic.

That is such a double standard. Wow.

We all know why though. If terms for homosexuals were strict and exclusionary (as heterosexuals are), then it would exclude them by default.
