As predictable as the sun rising every morning

I already explained in my essay the issue about labels, including addressing the complaints frequently made by label-haters like yourself, and how they can be used to unify and create an identity for people that can be useful for political activism. Please read that if you happened to overlook it. Also make note that I vehemently oppose the stance that labels can be nothing but bad or are inherently bad, and I will continue to do so whenever I'm hit with tired and predictable anti-label rants like this whenever the discussion of terminology and/or identity is broached.


The Greek language is traditional in a manner that is not negative for use to turn to for determining an addition to our lexicon. If you think another language would better serve our purposes simply because you dislike the concept of tradition in general, rather than evaluating what the specific tradition entails on a case-by-case basis, then please do tell. Perhaps we should use Esperanto for that purpose?

People are free to deny labels all they want. If such is the case, then deny that the term "pedophile" applies to you, and try to explain why you hang around here if that term is inapplicable to you. On the other hand, people are free to use them for purposes of identity and unification, so people are not going to stop using them for positive purposes. If you think people will laugh at us for using these terms, then ask them why they don't laugh at the label "pedophile," and why they use it so stringently. I believe that if there is an identifying term for youths with a certain preference to utilize so as to make them realize they are a legitimate minority group who is deserving of their rights, then they would have been more active in politics fighting for their rights. And I stand behind that.

Your post was not productive at all, and very easy to predict, as you would have realized had you read my entire essay. Then again, you are one of the few people in this community whom I do not expect much more than predictability from, so that's okay.
