Oh my god! Labels are so terrible! Why do we even _have_ descriptive words?!?!? God! I hate labels. Its definitely labels which cause the problem. Y’know. Always boxing people in and stuff like that. They should call them “hate”-bels cause that’s all that words that describe people are used for. Clearly, it is the existence of labels which creates hatred. Why can’t everyone just be treated equally, y’know? We’re all like, human, yknow?

What’s with all this conflict? I bet if we ask nicely, all the people in power will be glad to help remedy all material difference so no privileged people have to feel troubled and confused by this nasty ‘categories’ and ‘difference’ and ’social conflict’ stuff.

Hey, I got the best idea: if I start calling you “just a person” and you start calling me “just another person” and we don’t pay any attention to this lgbtq stuff, I bet the country’s marriage laws and all the subsequent financial and health protections and benefits they imply will suddenly magically stop using categories as well!

The age 17 one was me for a long time, until I got a boyfriend. I always figured bisexual or pansexual were the best labels since…why rule out possibilities? People are people etc. etc. etc.! :D

I just discovered your comic today, and I have to tell you how much I love it.

I realized I liked girls at 14 or so, and at 25 I still don’t know what the heck I am. Lesbian? But I like penises! Bisexual? But I don’t really connect to men the way I do women. Pansexual, perhaps, because I always think that it has a lot more to do with the person rather than the parts.

But in the long run, for the past 4 years I haven’t dated, kissed, had sex, and you know what? I’m happier than I’ve ever been. It’s so strange. Sure I like sex, I like girls, I like boys, I love drag queens and transmen, but I don’t have any desire to date or be in a sexual relationship with anyone.

I think I’m just meant to be a pansexual voyeur.

After studying philosophy and gender for two years, I wish I’d come up with an argument like this for Judith Butler.

I had this paragraph long comment about how humans instinctively label and categorize the world around us, but then I found out that nOObody had already said all of that and more. Anyways, as integral as labels are to our ability to better comprehend the world, they can be such a pain: Our tendency to mentally deconstruct people into an assembly of labels too frequently causes us to deny them their selves. The best thing we can do may be just to discourage people from letting their labels do all their thinking for them. Anyways, I really enjoy your work (having just read through the archives and gotten up to date), and I hope very much that you keep at it.
(Gah, I really wish I had some skill at brevity: I’m friggin’ 17, yet here I am droning on and on like a university professor D:)
