words
can you deny a label or a word placed on you, not based on its actual definition, but because of its cultural associations and connotations? for instance, if i didn't feel like a woman, could i deny that i am a woman, based on what culturally i think a woman is? so in denying something, do you actually deny what it is or what you think it is? or are they even separate?

I think you could deny any label you want, but does it make a difference if everyone still perceives you as the label you're trying to refute?
good point. so who's right?
Probably us.
