What’s the point of labels?

I see this question all the time.

“Whats the point of labels? Microlabels just make things more complicated.”

“There’s no need for more then a few labels. Just use one or two labels.”

And there are a few big reasons why people use microlabels, or may use many labels. I can speak from personal experience, as I use 24 labels for my orientation!

1. Microlabels let people be specific. 

Not all people care about being specific, or a simple labels like gay or bi is specific enough for them. But sometimes hetero, bi, gay, pan or omni are not specific enough. 

Someone may have also have split attraction. They may be heterosexual, panromantic and andro-aesthetic. They may be conformable with just being called panromantic, but some people may not feel comfortable with that label, or don’t feel represented in just that one label. 

Labels are a type of expression and representation. Someone may not feel like the word “bisexual” represents their full attraction. They may feel like their sexuality is fluid, flux, free, spiritual, etc. and that is not “traditionally represented in the word bisexual. They may feel like the word bisexual is restricting, may give people a false idea about them if they use bisexual. 

Some people feel comfort in having one label and like not being specific (or feel like one label is specific enough), but some people fine comfort in microlabels. 

This is the same for gender labels. “Transman” may not feel personal enough, or may lead people to make ideas about them, disregarding the spiritual, fluid, flux, free, feminine, etc. part of their identity as a man. That’s why some may use labels like boyflux, deaboy, magiboy, etc. When one says, “I’m a man” people are usually lead to believe that they are masculine, binary, stable (not fluid/flux/fluix), and that cuts out the deep, personal, etc. part of their identity that doesn’t naturally come with the idea of being a man. 

2. Someone may fit multiple labels. 

Many people find a few labels they fit and are comfortable with that one label. 

But some people may feel like they fit both pansexual and bisexual. Or they may be genderfluid, but don’t feel comfortable with genderfluid, and would rather describe themselves as female, demigender, novigender and agender all at the same time. 

Someone may also still be questioning themselves. They may be questioning between agender, demigender and dryagender, and feel comfortable with using  all of those terms. 

3. It makes people more comfortable.

The soul purpose of labels is to make people more comfortable with themselves and to represent themselves. 

Whether its “I’m a lesbian transwoman” or “I’m a gynosexual idemromantic pangender boyflux person.”

You should use whatever labels you fit, and however many you want. 

If anyone tries to stop you from using “micro Tumblr labels”, ignore them and just remember that those labels are for you, and you use them for you. 

They do not effect anyone else. 

They are tools for you to feel more at home in your body and mind. 

Heck yeah

reblog to be added to an ed server

my friend and i set up a server for our eating disorder and it’s really snazzy i want ppl to join bc it’s pretty cool. we are funny it will be fun im bad at advertising but trust me

you will succeed at every goal you’ve set for yourself, it just takes patience and consistency.

23 calorie chocolate shake✨ (large)

ingredients:

• 1.5 cups water (0)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (7.5)

• 1 tbs cocoa powder (10)

• 2 tbs stevia (0)

• 1/4 tsp liquid stevia (0)

• 1/2 tsp cornstarch (5)

• 5-7 ice cubes (0)

how to make:

• put everything in a blender and blend until everything is smooth and combined

this shake is so good if you want something sweet for low cals🥺 the actual calorie count is 22.5 for the whole serving but I just round it up to 23. It’s very sweet so if that isn’t your thing I’d suggest just adding 1 tbs of stevia instead of 2 (any 0 cal sweeter will work) you can also take out the cornstarch if you want, it’s supposed to help thicken the recipe up a bit since it’s so water based but honestly there’s not much difference w/ out it plus you save 5 cals so 🤷🏽‍♀️it’s also very filling so if you need something to hold you over until you eat again this should do the trick

This is??? So sweet??? Fuck that family tho tbh

Our trip to the science museum goes horribly wrong.

Me: *considers eating a healthy snack thats literally 2 fucking calories*
