I'm boggling at the kink one. But then, I just think of kinks as variations of sexual pleasure activities, not "weird things people do in bed". Just because I haven't tried certain ones or haven't been interested in trying them doesn't mean I'm *not* kinky.
I'm also not into sex at this particular time of my life, but other people are free to talk about sex around me and with me. I don't feel like they're assuming anything about me. I'm not vanilla and I'm not frigid and I'm not kinky, at the moment, but I'm aware of and knowledgeable and experienced in all of them.
And also, My LJ is my journal, and I'll write whatever I want in it, and subscribers (friends) are along for the ride. I haven't done filters and I don't foresee myself making any. Like she said, skip over it if you're not into that discussion. I don't think it's an assumption at all. I think it's journaling and talking about the topics you want to talk about, in a place that's meant for talking with people and journaling. *shrug*
I do agree that any combination of the labels can abide in any given person (and are subject to change without notice). And like you said, mockery of anyone is bad juju anyway. I just don't see it as an assumption. Maybe more of someone bristling because of being sensitive to identity labels.
