I agree with you in that humans will always categorize themselves and others, there's no switching that off, it's how our brain processes inormation, and so, even with the absence of language we will see groupings of similar behaviors or outward presentation. I wonder if these "identity" categories that have become such an important part of the Larger Conversation are simply just an overcorrection - exploring gender identity and sexuality has never been something valued in our society, so by asserting your identity and your alternative pronouns and knowing the definitions of all the new jargon and setting unreasonable expectations for everyone outside of your group to adhere to these new rules, you're taking back some of that power and reclaiming space and refusing to live the "DADT," "I don't mind it I just dont want to see it in public stop shoving it down our throats" lives that so many before have. It would be going backward to resign to letting the System remain in tact.
