Because it's saying that when I say "humans" are equal, I'm automatically meaning males and females are equal, when that's clearly not what I said. I could be putting people into a lot of different categories. If this had been a secret about racism, I could be talking about races, but here people are forcing me to take a label I clearly did not state. In most cases, I choose not to use labels at all because I don't believe in putting people into categories.

Are you a teenager, by any chance?


Because let me tell you, with any luck you're going to grow out of this embarrassing ~but I don't believe in labels~ aversion toward the idea of civil rights movements and social justice.

Although to be fair, there are at least a few childish adults that never do. They remain an embarrassment for the rest of their lives, until they finally actually grow up.

No.

Also, did you notice that I called myself a female? It's not like I'm against all labels. On the other hand, if someone doesn't want to label their own gender, I believe that they have the right not to. If they don't think they're male or female, they don't have to look through the dictionary and every archive available to find a label that fits themselves, and no one has the right to force them to take one.

I don't mind being called childish for that, I guess. That's one label I'll take.

Thank you, this. People don't have to claim labels they don't want.

It's not rocket science.

i am so late but that didnt even have anything to do with the above comment

people can label themselves if they want to

people can not label themselves if they want to

why are you even... bringing privilege into this... because labels don't apply to race

That is not at all what the comment you were responding to was talking about though.

Totally agree with this. This reminds me a LOT of people telling me things like, "WELL UNLESS YOU _________, YOU ARE NOT BISEXUAL". Like, I'm pretty sure I have every right to identify myself with whatever labels I want, and you do not have the right to tell me it is wrong.
