For real. It's the main reason my character says flat out that she's bi. Why it's even mentioned in the narrative - not her speech, not her thoughts, just the narrative. If it's ever published and someone says that she isn't bi, I'm gonna smack them across the face with the book.

Nobody has to use labels if they don't want to, but for god's sake, they exist for a reason, to help people understand!!

"Labels are for soup cans" and all the other phrases are BS for some people, when I found the term "sex repulsed" and learned what it meant and that other people felt it too, it was such a *relief*. I would rather have the label just so I know I'm not alone.

Labels aren't meant to be slurs, but some people take them that way. And rather than combating it by reclaiming the word, people tend to be all, "nooo, we don't label".

NAYRT but I agree so hard. Labels aren't inherently oppressive. No one's jumping on people for calling themselves Gryffindors or English majors, so what's wrong with labeling your own sexuality? Sure, people are more complicated than that, but that doesn't mean they're useless.
