| Topic | Pansexual/transsexual question (not a troll topic) |

It's hardwired into our brains on a very fundamental level, and is at the root of most of our higher cognitive processes. It's why we can pick up an apple and immediately go "Hey, this is an apple" - we are comparing the thing we are holding to the mental image we have contructed in our minds connected to the term "apple", and are spitting out the label attached to it. Nearly all of our deductive reasoning and most of our conversational ability is rooted in our ability to label things and draw conclusions from those labels. The real problem isn't "labeling", per se. It's what connotations you ATTACH to those labels. And how strongly you cling to those assumptions even in the face of potentially needing to revise them. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
