macrolabels are, in fact, a thing.

I’ve started calling myself sapphic as my only label, not specifying whether I only feel attraction to girls, or one gender. 

my experiences with labels have been uncomfortable, like people are trying to squeeze a circle to fit inside a square box, and that’s an understatement. 

macrolabels can be just as comforting and mentally beneficial as microlabels. many people find comfort in not having to explain their labels in depth, and knowing they still have a place in the community, even if they don’t want to specify. 

know what one of the most crucial macrolabels in this community is?

queer.
