+Indexing with a Boolean Index
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Previously when passing a boolean ``Index`` to ``.loc``, if the index of the ``Series/DataFrame`` had ``boolean`` labels,
+you would get a label based selection, potentially duplicating result labels, rather than a boolean indexing selection
+(where ``True`` selects elements), this was inconsistent how a boolean numpy array indexed. The new behavior is to
+act like a boolean numpy array indexer. (:issue:`17738`)
+
+Previous Behavior:
+
+.. ipython:: python
+
+   s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3], index=[False, True, False])
+
+.. code-block:: ipython
+
+   In [59]: s.loc[pd.Index([True, False, True])]
+   Out[59]:
+   True     2
+   False    1
+   False    3
+   True     2
+   dtype: int64
+
+Current Behavior
+
+.. ipython:: python
+
+   s.loc[pd.Index([True, False, True])]
