@Kir@mastodon.uno @KatyElphinstone@mas.to For me, the label was liberating. It finally brought words to what I've felt my entire life but could never quite understand. The label made me understand myself, and accept myself. So it also brought peace of mind.
I don't want a world without labels. I want a world where labels aren't misused to set people aside. Because even when one is treated good, one still might need words to their feelings.

@isisevrinen@mastodon.chasalin.nl @KatyElphinstone@mas.to I understand and completely respect your experience. But I think label are liberating when gives a form and legitimation to a conceptual space that was negated, and this negation came itself from the practice of using labels. And the danger is that when people feel liberated thank to a label, they may ends up being attached to it and defensive, so people who still falls out of this new labels are negated again. Plants of examples of this.
