Natasha Beddingfield. She's hardcore ;^)

Was that a loaded post? Have I not seen a similar post on AA recently? No matter...

Stream-of-consciousness warning. What I immediately think is what you get; apologies in advance.

Honestly, those kinds of comments are constructs; self-centred contrivances that give us identity, sense of worth, protection, and purpose, amongst other things... That's it. Subjective opinion. Self. Relative to others. Not nearly absolute.

Girly? Gay? If used in a disparaging way, these terms are going to be offensive to some folks. Surely I don't need to explain why.

Categorisation can serve a purpose; labels used to simply disregard or disparage, well, when used this way it suggests a limited ability to look or think or feel beyond the superficial. Or want to... Nothing is as simple as a label - there is always more to it. You can reduce something to a label but that does not make it so; more likely it demonstrates the ignorance or limitations of the labeller - or those that believe the labeller.

I could go on, and on, and on; but, nuff said.

Edit / something more: There is a differnce between using a descriptive category for a genere and labeling & disregarding based on the type of person who is perceived to listen to it. Even so, it is all just contrivance of the self...

Cheers, I think.
