I know that is up to me, and there was a time in which I thought that liking women made me lesbian. But after finding out about trixic, I got the trixic label. Now I don’t know what I can be, what should I be? What if I don’t want to have any label or identity? As in, “I just like women”.
Labels are a convenient shorthand. But they’re only useful if the person you’re talking to understands the shorthand. So for niche cases, no, they’re not always useful.
