Why do people feel the need to give themselves a label? Soft stud, stud, fem, gay, bisexual, bi, . . .what ever. . Why can't we just be who we are?
Please no negative remarks. Just wanting to know!

Labels are like straitjackets - - - once applied very hard to get off. They are used both to unite and separate people who gravitate toward and away from a specific worldview/way of being. Labels are a double-edged sword and can be at times helpful but more often dangerous and damaging.

Some labels are necessary. Gay, lesbian and bi are very necessary labels.. How would u know what anyone is if they didnt acknowledge themselves as such!? It would be kinda confusing if u didnt at least have those 3. But the whole stud, soft stud, fem, blah blah blah, all that is too much. Because then people get wrapped up in the PHYSICAL appearance. And i agree....soft studs are the BEST :-)

By becoming a gym bunny, I'm now transitioning from twink to muscle daddy. My underwear are Calvin Klein, my jeans Levi 501s, and my t-shirts Ralph Lauren, Gap, and Banana Republic. Without the labels, I'm just pure consciousness.

I think I have to label myself to fit into social circles. For instance when I'm with my Lesbian friends, its like taboo to let them know that I like guys. And when I'm with my Male friends, they get a kick out of me having a girlfriend. I'm what they call bi and I'm not really accepted by the Heterosexual or Homosexual community, I'm a inbetween, a confused person about my sexuality as so I'm thought to be. So to make others more comfortable I let them paint the picture they want to paint of me. I know the truth and here it shall die, I'm hetero and homo I can't lie.

We are a tribal bunch we humans. We like to identify with and be identifiable to similar minded people.
Having said that, my big objection to labels is that they empirically define people, and we are too complex creatures, even as individuals to be able to be irreducibly labelled.

How can we describe ourselves without labels. Some are offensive and some aren't. Its a double edge sword of necessity honey.

The be conscious f@ggot is quite offensive to me. As is the time era "tranny". I could specify although that if the words are used interior the community it makes a great distinction. My ultimate chum and that i will call one yet another f@gs yet in a thoroughly joking experience. we don't say it spitefully like non-LGBT human beings do. same with the time era "tranny" (i'm trans to boot) and that i consult with myself as a tranny each so often yet once I hear it used from non-trans human beings that's in many cases in a hateful way.
