In which I talk about labels, and how useful they are.

Interest is maintained by the deft wearing of a box.

why live in a box if you can live outside of it???

y not just say you are a person get rid of pronouns]

[picaVpica]

because to say you are a person is just another box, the 'person' box...specifically the 'person who is avoiding being put in a box', box - the dullest box of all.

I was first going to just post a text comment on how androgyne is pronounced in the USA... at least the dictionary seems to confirm it, as I can't say I hear the word very often either. But then I realized that doing a video response would allow you to actually hear it. So yeah. Oh and I first thought your accent sounded Australian, until I saw that your profile said the UK... so I'm not really an expert on pronunciations and such.

[picaVpica]

I'm from near London, you guys often hear that as Australia.

Yeah... I swear the human brain thinks that way. W/o a label, ppl fall apart..

right on about when yousaid that people who claim to not label themselves simply dont understand themselves

[picaVpica]

that, and you now sound like a fine wine.

No, but theres kind of a trade off between making things difficult and giving the correct information. I mean, its easy for me to say "i'm bisexual", but its not really accurate.

But anyways, ignore my ranting :)

well, no point causing difficulty for people is there?
