Being black isn't political, until bigots like you make it political.

Being female isn't political, until bigots like you make it political.

Being queer isn't political, until bigots like you make it political.

Every "identity" I've ever been given has come through violent conservative oppression. Sometimes I'm the group they like - sometimes I'm the group they hate. But I've never fucking asked for the distinction.

Gender, religion, sexuality, ethnicity... these matter as much as hair color, until some asshole decides there's a right answer. Every flavor of "identity politics" that conservatives screech about is an abuse they invented and hurled at people until those victims stood up and shouted "Motherfucker I am."

You don't need pride until someone's tried to make you feel lesser.

Get our of our goddamn way, and stop imagining you're the good guy. You are the entire problem. You can stop, at any time.
