It's sad that my long-term girlfriend has said, "It's not worth it," to joining in the discussion here.
A black woman, in a male-dominated field, from an impoverished family, as a first-generation college graduate, basically can't read the comments without rolling her eyes.
She'd scowl at me if she read herself described that way, because she'd never announce that "identity non-sense" and instead say it is more about individual experience.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people place power on these weird 'identity markers' and use them as ammo in their comments and posts, instead of their individual experience. I'll probably regret pressing 'post comment' with this one.
