Not terribly specific, just getting fed up with "Why are you labelling me?" from cis people getting called out on their transphobia, "But what do these labels really matter?" from people who have been told that non-Wiccan pagans really don't care about the Wiccan Rede, and "Why do you need a label so much?" in response to people who are trying to figure out how to talk about what they want.

Or, the specific example that came up today, "Don't define, just be!" in response to, "I'm trying to get a handle on what the difference between a 'submissive' and a 'slave' is, can anyone help me understand how these words are used?"

There's a certain number of frou-frou more highly evolved (see previous rant) people who are Too Pomo To Communicate. And maybe I'm a poor primitive, but sometimes it is just too damn useful to say that that leaf-shaped (woops, a label!) digging implement (how dare you CATEGORISE me?) a freaking spade.
