Non-binary and Genderfluidity a Sign of Rising Consiousness?

[Aion]

If everybody eased off of everybody then there would be more room for acceptance. I don't get why people get so caught up in other peoples' sexual/gender business in the first place. I could care less how people want to identify and I don't mean in a dismissive way, but that's it doesn't really have anything to do with me. Whatever you wanna be, all the power to ya.

Okay, so I'm going to harp a bit more about labels…

If there were no labels, everyone could just follow their hearts without reference to some description of what they might be doing or desire to do. With labels, people have something to attach to—whether that's validation or justification in judging and separation.

This is not to say that I think there is something wrong with relying on a label to identify a tendency or desire, and not feel isolated. Or even in the 3D world where calculations, identifications or whatever must still be made to quantify data. But if we can move past being influenced by what others think (others who are all also in their own pain and scared and struggling to deal with life), we can empower ourselves to become anything we want to be.

Regarding everyone easing off everybody—that is complicated. People strike out at others for a plethora of reasons. The evolution (to me) must be within self—how the self reacts; acceptance of self; empowerment of self; responsibility of self. With that in place, it doesn't matter what anyone else does or thinks. Not that it's easy however, in any case.

For example, how do you eradicate racial prejudice? You can't change others. But you can change yourself. Clinging to labels that reinforce differences in race (though it may increase cultural pride and empower disenfranchised peoples, and there is some truth in that) serves also to separate, not integrate—it's exclusive, not inclusive. We can't all be one if we keep defining ourselves as different from each other. The idea would be to honor individuality—the individual spark as you put it—without separating into different categories (tribes, genders, species, races, ages, and so on). 

So would you say "no labels" would be an inner or an outer phenomenon?

I'm not sure I agree with your proposal that difference equates separation or that there must be no difference in definition in order to 'be one'. I really believe in 'unity through diversity' so I admit I see it that definition of individuality to be essential to our unity.

So how do you honour an individual in their choices and what they identify with if you have no words to apply? I feel like you are proposing a heavy heart based approach which eschews the mental component of interaction. That's perfectly valid but I'm not sure it really works for all beings per se.

What if an individual strongly feels identified with aspects of those categories, would you just tell them to put it aside cause it's just them trying to separate from others? That doesn't seem like honouring individuality to me...

I absolutely agree with the heart of what you are saying, I'm just not sure I follow your method.
