My Identity Box, or Yours?

Patrick Califia takes aim at our attachment to labels: "Do we lose something when we polarize certain behaviors or desires and think of them as opposites? Well, of course!"

"... But humans are such tricky and complicated animals that every time we think we understand ourselves and have a way to describe it, we defeat our own wisdom, slip out of the boxes, and turn into something else."

Thank goodness for that.
