You're right: I have been getting hung up on labels. Part of that is because I feel like I don't know who I am if I don't have the labels. I don't get nearly this hung up on sexuality labels, but I think that's because I've ID'ed as some kind of queer for years now, whereas I've only ID'ed as genderqueer for seven months. I think another part of it has to do with the fact that I will be persuing hormones once I get back from vacation and my experience has me worried about getting approved (even though the clinic I picked out is an informed consent clinic and explicitly states on their website that they acknowledge non-binary identities).
