the next battle for civil rights

If they could discard their self-installed blinders, they'd see that trying to shoehorn identity politics into "civil rights" runs the risk of destroying the progress of real civil-rights issues.

Race, sex, national-origin, disability, etc., are objective immutable characteristics, deserving of civil-rights 'protected-class' status. "Feelings", behaviors and lifestyle-choices will never rise to that level, and forcing people to 'play-pretend' will bring about society-destroying attitudes like "I identify as [insert legitimate protected-class]!" by people who are playing the system.
