Darcy Vescio has an announcement

[kruddler]

I don't have a problem with Darcy telling her story, I'm dead against people who continually message and lecture me publicly about not wanting to be labelled / categorised coming out and demanding I refer to them by a label.

A label is something generally earned and given to a person or object by a 3rd party, not something you demand for yourself unless you are full of yourself.

You can wear a name tag all you like, but that doesn't require others to refer to you by it.

I think that is a very wide brush you are painting wish.

Darcy hasn't "continually" done anything.
Darcy hasn't lectured anyone.
Darcy hasn't demanded anything.

Darcy made one post letting everyone know something somewhat private about themselves and letting people know the best way to go about addressing them to avoid embarrassment.

I think thats fair.


** As a side note, i have caught myself on no less than 10 occasions having to edit out a 'her/she' from my posts, despite proof reading (which i don't normally do). I guarantee i will miss 1 soon enough. If i was chatting face to face, i'd have no hope of addressing them correctly.  :-[
