Labels

"Dear are you a cd or girl?", that's the first thing that I'm asked very often, i always get mixed emotions out of this question, i always wonder that why are we keeping ourselves in a cocoon of labels?.

It got to be linked with our perception of superiority among our known and unknown contacts, many think that being a deviant in our society is a mark of samael, a symbol of shame, such low self esteem not only affect the person who is a deviant but affects the whole society, this slowly and slowly generate a taboo, we starts to take it for granted and starts labeling one another, it takes form of a mass epidemic.

Whatever we think we are and what others think of us is co-related to one another, we may not always like to admit, but we tend to constantly judge ourselves through the eyes of others, it's here that these so called labels become so important for us, the prime example of it would be something like this :-

"honey you look gorgeous, are you a gg?"
in this case the use of the label "gg" for a non genetic girl would be an ego boost, but if the same question is asked to a genetic girl, that would be considered outright rude.

Taking pride in who we are is a good thing, but making others feel low about them is a social sin, i have had met many people online who takes pride in being a transgendered but they have little consideration for the people belonging to other area of the LGBT spectrum, such ego and self-center behavior can make someone loose their self confidence.

So in the end i can say that labels are part of our normal and LGBT society, it's impossible to get rid of them, but what we actually should change is the way we handle them, the way we force them onto one another without considering the consequences and the implications that this will put on someone's life.
