[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what it means not to partake in "identification". Are you saying that your kid refuses to answer questions about their gender, or religion, or nationality, or family status or hobbies? Everyone I know identifies as something. [/quote] [b]If you're a white male, cis/het, not religious, UMC, family been here a long time and intermixed (generic European), truly what is there to say?[/b] I'm not in this category but I feel like these Qs should be optional. Otherwise it is very cringe and fake.[/quote] The questions talk about how your life experiences and/or aspects of your identity have shaped you -- this is basically the work of adolescence, to figure that out. It's not peripheral and it's important for people who see themselves as the dominant group to examine that too.[/quote]
