₊˚⊹ — do you endorse and enjoy the use of identity labels?

I believe most on here use them, at least to some degree (this includes pronouns, I’d say)— including myself.

Do you find them important to your identity as a person? Would you be just as ‘you’ without them? Or are they defining?

If you were to (for whatever reason) not be able to use any labels, would it bother you?

And what lead you to using the labels you do now, or what lead you towards using labels at all? —

I enjoy them to a degree, but also I feel like my gender and sexuality cannot be labeled fully so I opt for transmasc nonbinary rotgender and unlabeled queer. I think I could still be me with or without labels because I can explain my gender and sexuality without labels, but it’s not always convenient to go “yeah I’d date anyone except cis men” most of the time soooo… does this make any sense? Or am I just yapping…
