Author Adrienne Sigeti wrote the article "Important Truths About Labeling Sexuality". In her article, she states, "For these people, labels are not only a means of self-expression but also an instrument for self-advocacy and empowerment." This is true for professional people and for leadership; I'm just not so sure this is what you want to say about yourself. I don't need to utilize a label as an instrument to assist me in being my own best advocate. Nor do I need a label to use as an instrument to empower me. I'm my best advocate because I pay attention and try not to take what I hear at face value. As far as empowerment, I am who I am and if you don't like it that's your loss, not mine. If you find the need to judge someone, get a pen and a blank notebook and then have a good look in a mirror. Try to care about who you see.
