[quote=Anonymous]“Get around more and talk to people outside your "bubble." Not everyone is constantly obsessed about "gender," not everyone follows a religion, and few people can choose their nationality. Many are fed up with the constant emphasis given to these by some. “ Exactly. Just watch a news broadcast and notice how often the real story is buried beneath fawning descriptions of people’s “identities.” I get an alumni periodical from an elite university. Almost every article is about how this person is the first whatever to do x, or they accomplished y despite being whatever. Some people seem incapable of making an observation that doesn’t include irrelevant identity characteristics. [/quote]
