Labels are at once a potential source of limitation and yet completely necessary. Like I am Childfree by choice.

Does this single fact about me explain everything about me? Not even close. But It's always struck me as sort of weird how that seems to be what people are afraid of with labels.

I don't think it needs to be said that when we use one that it only explains one aspect of what makes us who we are. Those are things that are pretty much obvious from context. They're not meant to define us, but merely to add definition.
