yes and no

there’s no way of describing ourselves other than by using language’s tools such as terminology. besides imperfections of any natural language, the terms themselves are somewhat rigid and not fully express idea they are attached to.

however, definitions are the way of giving meaning to concepts and objects – how can you name a thing if it has no limits?

and ppl love labels because it helps to draw borders of who they (want to) see themselves. plus, the pattern-seeking brain loves exactly that 🤔
