getting into this mode of thinking can be rough. starting to view people in this way begins a process of disassociation that has a positive feedback. the more you look for it the more you find it.
but the labels often are about regaining power too, so it's not all bad. people in marginal groups can feel that "you can't fire me, i quit!" kind of way.
i like to try to get to a place where i honestly could care less how people label me. not in a negative way either - not by shutting off, more like laughing it off and loving it back. people are funny, no need to worry?
