Labels (Pt. 2?)

I hate the terms 'butch' and 'femme' and most of all 'dyke'. I just have these horrible visual conjured up in my mind's eye when I think of them.  It makes me want to scratch something until it screams for mercy.  I keep thinking 'how the hell are we going to move forward to equality for all when we have these gross labels holding us back'?

But then I remember that humans are labelers.  We need categories to organise our world. That doesn't mean I have to acknowledge those crass terms.  :Snape-worthy sneer:

I have a feeling I've blogged about this before, but I'm too lazy to go back and check.  I just had to get this agitation out of my system, so I can focus on my last bit of schoolwork.
