I think it is way too easy to get sucked in by labels. It's natural to want to label things because it helps us gain understanding. If you become stuck on a label, you may end up using the label to define yourself without really exploring.
Is it wrong to identify with a label and use it to express yourself? I don't think so In every case. I could use hetero and cis to describe myself, but I think wrapping myself in those are pointless and trying to forge an identity around them might be harmful. It might be different as a minority looking for a place to belong. Being married defines me, but I also define my marriage.
This is a perfect explanation, thanks!
