Labels are language

I have a straight female coworker who casually mentioned having a girlfriend in college. I asked her if she considered herself bisexual. Her response was, "I don't like labels." Here's the problem with that. Labels are a component of language. Human beings created language to describe the things around them and communicate ideas to fellow humans. A label is like an abbreviation. Instead of saying, "You're a female in a sexual relationship with another female," we say "You're bisexual." That's literally what language is and how it works. "Not liking labels" is stupid. #language
