The Logic of Words Should Yield to the Logic of Realities- Louis D. Brandeis

Using Propositional Logic Laws to Prove if your say matters.
According to the implication principle when we are provided with two statements A and B , we say A B, read as If A then B.From the first glance one may assume, if conditions of A are satisfied then B must be true. However, the principle suggests that the validity of the proposition depends on the truth or falsity of condition B. Hence, condition A is regarded as a 'sufficient condition' whereas B is regarded as a ' necessary condition'.
The truth table
A        B              A  B
T           T                 T
F      T                     T
T           F                F
F           F   T
As we can see, proposition B is pretty much unaffected by the truth or falsity of proposition A.
considering a simple example:- “ Today is Monday there fore it's a weekend”. It may or may not be a Monday but if it is a weekend then our proposition becomes true likewise if we are certain that it is not a weekend then even claiming so will make the statement false.
Similarly, when we are aware of the presecnce of a certain characteristics in some one or something which descibes it's necessary condition, you proposing any statement to describe it, wont actually change anything. For example:
Person X is evil, therefore people fear him”He is gay, therefore he dresses well”She is influenced by various substances, therefore she has a peculiar way of thinking”
So, according to laws of logic we know regardless of what proposition A is, it doesnt change the truth value of B. Therefore, showing how illogical it is to label people, systems, so on and so forth. Because no matter what you say it wont actually change the necessary condition's status of validity or falsity.
Hence, we need to stop hating on everything and everyone. And if something bothers you about someone or something a better solution would be to:
a. communicate only with the person(s) involved in the necessary condition and logically discuss your point of view.
b. try to eliminate the person(s) involved from your life, by turning a blind eye towards their existence.
Because, if it is what it is, then you labeling it, is not only a waste of your time but also mathematically not possible.
