I like this, I really do. Someone give this person a cookie! And a medal! And a beer, if you're into that.
Labels aren't the problem, it's the practice of using them as a singular method of understanding a person. Like you said, they're 'windows' to give people a glimpse, a starting ground, maybe a conversation topic. Not being able to move past them into the full three-dimensional personality that each of us is is a travesty.
