@KatyElphinstone@mas.to I personally refuse to label myself in public. That's me showing I do not consent to be treated in ways that are connected to labels that were applied to me before I was able to consent to them.
It's frustrating to see trying to opt out of getting labeled being turned into yet another thing with implicit meanings attached that is getting pushed on people who didn't ask for it.
It reminds me of how cis people turned nonbinary into a single gender with androgynous expectations attached, instead of letting it be a broad category defined only by what it's not.
It would be great if the entire world could agree to use labels strictly for communication, and not attach extra meanings for the purpose of oppressing each other using hierarchies.
