You don't need to label yourself anything you don't want to. Some people find the labels helpful because they feel less alone and/or feel more like a part of a community, or it helps them to feel less weird when it seems like everybody around them is different because it's common enough to have a name, or sometimes they just want to have a name for what it is that they are. (I'm not aromantic or asexual but I still think about the labels that do fit me because it gives a word and a solid concept to that part of my identity.)
But some people feel labels are too constraining or too divisive, or just don't like them for whatever reason. That's fine. Nobody's trying to police you or force a label on you. But other people are still entitled to seek their own identities and put names on those identities when they want to.
TB2
Yeah, I have fandom to thank for that as well. And one of the things I learned from educating myself about social justice issues is that you can (even should!) appreciate something while also acknowledging its flaws.
