Miley Cyrus Does Not Want To Be Labelled
The media is continuing to report that Miley Cyrus identifies as bisexual – despite the star specifically eschewing the label in an interview.
The star revealed she had dated men and women last month, when she said: “There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends.
“I’m not hiding my sexuality. For me, I don’t want to label myself as anything.
“We love putting people in categories, but what I like sexually isn’t going to label me as a person.”
The star gave another interview to Paper Magazine this week, in which she said she is “open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn’t involve an animal and everyone is of age” – leading the mainstream press to label the star “bisexual”.
The Daily Mail, the Mirror, Billboard, and even other LGBT publications have jumped to incorrectly label the star as such. The press continues to make the claim – despite Cyrus herself saying quite clearly: “I don’t want to label myself as anything.”
In the Paper Magazine interview, the author notes: “She says she has come to consider her own sexuality – even her own gender identification – fluid.”
The singer has also said that she wants to be judged based on herself, not her dating life. She said: “It has a lot to do with being a feminist, but I’m finally OK with being alone. I think that’s something we have to talk about more: that you can be alone.
“There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends. And there are times where I just love being with myself and don’t want to give part of myself away to someone else.
“I think that’s a new freedom for women, especially. I don’t know that my mother would have been able to be 22 and secure in being alone. But my future doesn’t rely on having a partner.”

June 13, 15:18I think labels are our own way of simplifying the identification of people or things around us.
Labels in race, tribe, gender, sexuality, height, body size, religion, name it.
Labels ain’t going nowhere anytime soon

MagDiva
June 14, 07:31Isn’t trans a label too?? *confused*
ronniephoenix
June 14, 07:42NO IT IS JUST A TERM.
Gad
June 14, 10:36Can you allow us to submit that bi,gay,top,btm are terms too?
ronniephoenix
June 14, 11:18GAD, NO.
TRANS is a terminology, like being human. it comprises of a lot.
TRANS is different from transgender.
pinkpanthertb
June 14, 11:21Ok you’ve lost even me.
Gad
June 14, 17:48Ok, dear. Learning continues
ronniephoenix
June 14, 11:21I say i am TRANS because, i really do not fall into any category.i am not a man,woman,neither,or anything in btw.
i am just me.
you cant understand because u are not TRANS
pinkpanthertb
June 14, 11:27So you’re neither a he nor she. You’re like the gender non-forming human being that was on Mike Daemon’s podcast? And somehow, because you’re neutral, you think being Trans is not a label? Do you know what labels are?
Gad
June 14, 17:49Hmmm
MagDiva
June 14, 11:52Category, labels, term – same difference sweetie. All are used for identification
If you had just stopped at “I am ME” maybe you’d have some sort of argument/point
ronniephoenix
June 14, 12:10THAT was a delibrate attempt to get people talking.
Anyways, take it or leave it, i do not want to be labeled
I just want to GET OUT OF THIS BODY!
I have attempted suicide many times before and i can still try again.
pinkpanthertb
June 14, 14:31Professing to suicide attempt is not something to be proud of. It’s not an accomplishment, a star tacked on your award plaque. I’m saying this because this comment inordinately comes off as though you’re glamorizing suicide.
ronniephoenix
June 14, 15:44I did not mean it that way pink.
i am bipolar,so i am inclined to be suicidal.
i am not happy about it but i have learned to accept it.
pinkpanthertb
June 14, 18:28You don’t get to accept that you’re suicidal. That’s what I’m saying. It’s not something you find acceptable.
ronniephoenix
June 14, 22:28if u are bipolar, then will u understand
i cant control my thoughts. i control my actions.
ronniephoenix
June 14, 11:26i am male born.and i hate that.
i wish i was female(physically) but unlike caitlyn or cox i do not belong to any gender internally….
really hard to explain.
ronniephoenix
June 14, 11:30O pinky pinky
only if u were trans would u understand.
