After a lot of internal deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to be fair and balanced is if you consider everyone as a human person first. That primary definition awards them all the rights and privileges of a human person.
Beyond that, "man", "woman", "non-binary", "trans" become me labels applied to the unique human person that you are interacting with. Not dissimilar to other labels, like their name.
There is no extra information applied from the label, it is merely a parameter that the specific human person prefers to have. Nothing more. It awards them no additional rights nor freedoms, and it removes no rights nor freedoms.
In the same way, race should be considered the same. A person's skin color and ethnic heritage is merely part of the definition of each specific human independently and awards no additional rights, nor freedoms, more does it take any away.
IMO, the only way to move forward is if the current generations of adults, mainly millennials and Gen Z, commit to the notion that every person is a human person first, and their rights and freedoms are assigned to them as a person. Nothing is added nor taken away by any sexual identity, or race information that any person may have, prefer, or identify as.
Then we just have to wait..... They'll die off eventually.
the categorization of people and formation of identity arpund those categories is vastly overvalued/emphasized/etc, fuck that shit
Yesplz. These categories, these boundaries if how we group people and the identities we form around them, are always made for reasons, and often stick around after those reasons-which may have been fucked up in the first place-have faded from being, from memory, from the god(s) damn fossil record. They should be regularly re-examined, and taking them too seriously is absurd.
they'll die off eventually
After brainwashing so fucking many kids. Time is not an ally; it's a terrain of struggle. Do not surrender it.
