Labelling seems to have become important because we are so much in search of an identity that is supposed to give us stable ground.
I also know from my own experience how irritating it is when someone completely foreign - through internet communication - gives you an attribution that you haven't even defined and seen through yourself. Many years ago I was once called a "neo-liberal", although I knew absolutely nothing about the term.
The problem is the definitional sovereignty on the one hand and the resulting conflicts on the other. In this madness of attribution efforts, people tend to seek security in identitarian groups, but then realise that it is too one-sided an issue, but after years, because one has become so dependent on the identity, it is difficult to get out again. Thus, one can say that a loyal party affiliation, which once offered meaning and security for oneself, only contains theoretical (wishful) concepts, but in real life these concepts have no equivalent or have changed so much that one does not see it and is still stuck in an ideal-seeming past (or never achieved present).
The exaggeration of labelling is currently at its peak and I would describe it as an attitude ideology, where people are divided into categories and assigned certain behavioural points and there must be something like a fixed profile of them. Ultimately, the glass human being who, lifted out of his physical existence, is reduced to the result of his data.
Consequently, such a fixed idea as genderism could also emerge, which shows theoretical efforts to negate a gender identity, proving despotic time and again in the artificial effort to eliminate the labelling, yet it contributes to making the ascriptions even more prominent. Where one is supposed to pretend to be neither man nor woman, as if such differences do not exist in a hypocritical gesture of not discriminating against those who see themselves as neither man nor woman. The whole debate seems ridiculous to me, since all we would have to do is accept that people can be peculiar, but of no harm.
