I am not a fan of labels, because they have usually been issued by others. I really don’t want someone else issuing me one to put me in a cell, I do understand the reason we use them even though I am opposed to the cell.
I want the freedom to be who ever I am or need to be at that moment in time.
I also appreciate the help that labels give us a start to begin to recognize each other, by the labels we chose for ourselves.
When I initially found this place I knew it was special, I had not identified as femme or butch. Lesbian or queer was my personal view at the time. I did very much enjoy the intelligence that I saw here, the openness and inclusive that was encouraged. And a place to find the vantage points of others minds. I loved the way so many were so open to expressing sometimes very personal experiences or feelings.
My own personal definitions for my self have naturally transitioned over the years I am always in aww of the people that just always known them selves or where they felt at home.
It maybe that that also just enjoy the space or the company that these wonderful souls offer.
What ever her reasons, I know that for myself I would be very gladly want to answer a question that I had caused some one else to wonder about. I think you should ask her, you may open up an avenue for her to explore that she's just never discovered until she had reason to give it words.
