I’m uncomfortable with a lot of modern ‘identification’ politics. This article is one reason - you don’t get to SELF-identify any social identity. It’s a social thing, by definition. But also secondly because I think we get trapped in binary thinking, and I see identification as the wrong counter to that. You don’t fix binaries by allowing people to ‘identify’ along the continuum of the binary. You get rid of the binary, or at least keep it within its specific context.
