I think we should see people for who they are and not just some label that could apply to them, what is some similar advice to this ? (lemmy.world)

Labels can apply to anyone but they don't show you what the person is like for being themselves, who is the person beyond those labels

Withholding judgement on someone's words until you see their actions is an important one to me. As is the flip-side to that - if someone shows you who they are: believe them.

Public figures are good practice for fine-tuning your response to both of these.

Call yourself what you like, declare your position this way or that, fine, but Actions > Words.
