I tend to avoid anyone that feels compelled to define themselves by a political ideology. It just becomes an identity and the identity becomes more important than anything the ideology was supposed to represent.

Please reevaluate my comment with focus on the phrase 'political identity'. If you're talking about sexuality or gender- that's not a 'political identity', That's who you are as a human being as much as being black or white or tall or short. I recognize and sympathize that those facets of humanity have been brutally politicized but I'm speaking of 'political identities' that people necessarily choose or willingly accept, not the 'identity' that comes from just being born as you.

My dude, their comment is arguing that their sexuality/gender is already politicised, so they don't have the privilege of choosing a political identity as it's thrust upon them by the republicans.

They read your comments fine, I don't necessarily agree with them, but they read it
