It's a tragedeigh

It feels to me that at some point, we will just need to do away with all categories. At what point does it stop being useful to keep putting labels on points on a possibly infinite spectrum?
Would it be better to just push for acceptance in all forms? Forget the labels and just be yourself and accept others for who they are? (Barring, of course, people who are evil or criminal, etc)
My personal experience has been one of:i am unsure of my sexuality and unsure of my gender.
Eventually, i decided that I wouldn't focus on what gender or sexuality i am since i dont fit into the main categories. i will just be my own category and enjoy my life the way i want to live it.I know who i am, and i know what i am. I dont need a label to feel secure about that.
Man was enough, and straight was enough to make things easier for me and others. even though i am not quite man and not quite straight. I fit nicely into neither category, but both are close enough that i am content to just say that rather than have to explain myself to everyone i meet.
Anyone who knows me or gets to know me will know who and what i am eventually.
People use labels to get information quickly as a form of vetting.
"You're not... a republican, are you?"
"Oh, hell no!"
"Oh good!"
Now they can let their guard down and be friends. Without labels, determining they are talking to a decent person takes much longer.

One can point out hypocrisy in another without hating them
Just not this one.

To find an excuse to hate people? Must be pretty deep already to have abandoned reason.
Straight people. You conveniently dropped that descriptor
