The important fact about identity politics movements is that they need to feel discriminated against to survive. If you have a group that has nothing in common but how they are persecuted, it will fall apart when there's no persecution to fight against. For that reason, if you wait long enough, the only groups and movements that aren't disbanded are those that found a way to stay persecuted forever.

Queer theory is pretty much a cult tactic turned into an actual science. It first draws people who already feel marginalized, promising them unconditional acceptance, then isolates them from society and keeps them inside. Look how those people hate you. Do you really want to get them to accept you? Look at those completely mundane behaviors; it's actually how they express their disdain. You can never trust them, even those good ones we let help us, because they're intrinsically opposed to us even if they don't know it. Oh, and if you want to be liked even more here, here are a bunch of behaviors, fashion choices, and rules that will make you differ from those outside even more.
