If there weren't labels for everything from sand to space, the world would not run as efficient as it does, but the same time when an individual is labeled, sometimes that shapes and forms the outcome of that person even if the label is wrong.
What brought this up was the news program that I saw recently about the princess boy in Seattle. Now I have to admit that when I was young, I had sisters who had ballerina or dance stuff / tutus, and one day I wore one of these in the yard with others, and there were photos taken. I wasn't embarrassed, it was just something funny and fun to do. I think in a sense that it did label me, but as to what effect it had on my up bringing I couldn't say, though I am here writing about this now.
Back to the princess boy, what is going to happen to him when he starts to hit puberty and his hormones start to tell him that girls are in his future, but his family and friends are all princess sympathizers? So once'd labeled, how difficult is it to change that label or ignore that label. From experience there are people that have labeled me and have been quite surprised to see me in a different way, its like they knew me one way and didn't really like me in another way.
