What It Says On the Tin

Sep 16, 2025
Labels in the realm of sex and gender can be both affirming and limiting. The hosts explore how these terms serve personal identity, giving voice to individual experiences. They discuss the benefits of labels for community connection and communication, and how they can refine our understanding of self. Conversations touch on bisexuality, queer identities, and the importance of reclaiming slurs. They also tackle the fluidity of identity and advocate for viewing labels as playful tools for self-expression rather than rigid constraints.

INSIGHT

Labels Serve Inner And Outer Needs

  • Labels provide both internal affirmation and external community benefits that help people feel less alone.
  • They act as shorthand for conversation but require follow-up detail to capture individual nuance.
ADVICE

Use Labels As Conversation Starters

  • Use labels as conversation starters, not substitutes for specific preferences or boundaries.
  • When sharing a label, follow up with concrete details about what you actually want or enjoy.
INSIGHT

Labels Narrow The Map

  • Labels act like a triangulation map that narrows a vague area of identity as you add details.
  • They let you set expectations (e.g., in dating) while remaining open to correction or elaboration.
