Brilliant writing - I love the analogy of labels to clothing. It's so true.
Also, I don't know if you remember, but way back when I first friended you I commented somewhere along the lines of "Gee golly, I have no idea whether you're a girl person or a boy person!" and your reply was the evasive "How interesting!" It's instructive to finally get a straight (ha) answer, and compare it to what I'd guessed anyways.

Also again, I'd love to be on that filter.
