One thing I'm of a mind to point out is that this sort of marginalizing is
perhaps just why a group might be necessary. I'm trying hard to think of any
of the subgroups that anyone has mentioned that so automatically raise
complaints about "why do you need to identify yourself in this group, can't
we all just be people?" But if you say "I'm a Pepsi drinker" no one tries to
diminish that. If you say "I'm married" people don't try and diminish that
(in fact, they may ask "Do you have any kids"). If someone says "I'm gay"
people say "Why did you need to tell me that? I don't care and don't what to
know about what you do in bed." But wouldn't that response actually be
(somewhat) more reasonable to ask of the married person?
People profess to want to let gays just be. But they also want to pass laws
preventing them from just being.
