What are some of the LGBT labels and defiinitions Do you fit under a label? Do you like the label? Why?

Question

for example:

hard butch
soft stud
stone femme

I don't know all of the labels or their definitions but I know there are more than the ones I listed. I'd like to know. Yes, labels are sometimes bad but not always the case.

labels aren't always bad in the case someone labels herself/himself for example when someone calls themself submissive or dominant or butch vs femme.

Answer 1

Labels are only words—and words when chosen carefully
usually do communicate more effectively than silence.
Here are some good possible reasons that some people decide to call themselves queer, lesbian, bisexual or gay:

To protest against our homophobic society's attempts to dictate who we can or cannot love.
To let others know you've stood up for your right to love and make love to anyone you care to.
You admire the queer, lesbian, bisexual and/or gay community and want to become or remain a part of it.
You don't know how to repress your same-gender sexual feelings and you feel it's better to acknowledge and come to terms with them than to go on denying their existence.
To be honest about your past same-gender sexual feelings and/or experiences.
To experience what it's like to be given a stigmatized label, and gain the knowledge, emotional strength and self-reliance that comes with that experience.
You don't feel like bothering to argue with others who label you as queer, lesbian, bisexual or gay.
To be able to make snappy comebacks like "Yes, I am queer, and being queer is a good thing to be!" or "That's Mr. ****** to you!"—because whether or not you actually consider yourself queer, responding to homophobic slurs by saying "No, really, I'm not queer" wouldn't sound very prideful and would never convince anyone anyway.
It scares you to say the words "I'm queer" to yourself, and you don't like being afraid of things, and you know that the only way to overcome any fear is to practice doing the thing you're most afraid of.

I was labeled by other people. My label for myself is ME.

Answer 2

Labels, though sometimes used in a negative way, are not always bad things. They help give definition, but shouldn't be used to define.

Technically I guess I am a pansexual genderqueer. Both somewhat new terms for the LGBT community, but before I heard them and knew what they meant I always felt like I was floating somewhere separate in the community and didn't fit in the community at all.

I always consider gender identity last when meeting someone, I mean, I love women, men sometimes too, trans people, drag queens and kings, anyone. Not just one gender or type appeals to me. I am more than bisexual. I think its closed minded to call me so.
As for my gender identity... I do identify as female but I don't necessarily feel like a girl. When I was little I thought I was a boy until I learned the difference. I am like a gay man in a woman's body, a drag king who loves men... transsexual in both directions. A woman spirit who is a man, who is a woman's body.

Pansexual genderqueer. :)

Answer 3

those days I felt like the loneliest one. someone i respect as someone, without labels and in the most acceptable thanks to love yet another human being, appeared to hate me. and then I heard that he felt like the affection human beings have for him would not count number, or that it replaced into an phantasm. I felt beaten. yet, the sentiments I had were no longer lengthy gone, nor diminished. easily, in the face of this assumption of falsehood they grew more acceptable. I recognized how a lot the affection, the worrying, even the straightforward acknowledgment concerns. I did experience lonely. fortuitously, I had others to help me deal with this. i guess I live on on giving out love, yet strengthen upon receiving it to a level.

Answer 4

I don't like labels. I hate it when someone tries to apply a label to me. I'm not a 'bear' or an 'otter' or a 'daddy' or a 'twink' or anything. Why do people feel it necessary to fit into a narrow pigeonhole? I would rather be my own, original person, made up of lots of different kinds of elements.

Answer 5

I don't think I fall into the regular LGBT labels, but yeah people do call me a nerd! :-|

Answer 6

I dont need or want a label-Im one of a kind!!!
