    i think many people in this forum care too much about not labeling

    and they try to make a point of it in many of there posts over and over
    lables arnt a bad thing...like:

    im:
    male- label
    16- label
    an enviromentalist-label

    I heard a speaker once who was quoting Maya Angelou and it really made me okay with labels. It helps me identify some of the things that are important to me, but I'm also okay with changing who I am if it suits me.


    I am
    A Woman
    A Lesbian
    A Mother
    A Daughter
    A Feminist
    An Activist
    A Spiritual Person
    A member of a 12 step program
    A Soon to be Student

    Who are you today?

    Namaste

    its human nature to label. even "dog" "cat" "fish" "human" are labels.


    i think people should get over it. its never going to end. try to downsize stereotyping instead.

    I am a hippie

    A daughter/niece/sister/granddaughter/friend
    Child of God
    Child of nature
    Animal activist
    Female
    Freak walking down the street wearing a rainbow dress with a purple sarong as a cape/poncho
    Lesbian
    I am who I am.
    I do not like labels if they hold someone back/down, but it just makes it easier to describe someone or something. I think as long as you're looking PAST the labels as well, there's no problem:)

    Forgive me, I, God, do not like it. Change your ways or I'll throw a lightning bolt at your ass.

    what's so confusing? she's a lesbian, a mother, and she's asking who you are. I thought it was really easy to figure out :)

    You have/had the beanie. I don't have to know you to know you try too hard.
    You don't have a clue as to what facist means, do you?

    Well, Fascism, actually, was a form of government in Italy, adopted by Benito Mousalinni, which pretty much was based on deviding Italy into provinces.
