Do men need a language of worth empowerment and identity? Absolutely
But a man’s sense of self is not greater than a woman’s actual life

Identity depends on change to stay recognizable,
And yet change erodes every attempt to solidify identity.
A Self that is entirely stable would be inert.
A Self that is entirely fluid would be unrecognizable.

Has anybody seen any self-reflection from the people who said that identity politics was the biggest threat in American life even as authoritarianism was on the rise?
Has anybody seen any self-reflection from the leftists like Stancil who ignored warnings from liberals that going off the deep end on race/gender essentialism would enable bigoted Republicans to win?
By the way, has anyone seen, at any point, any amount of self-reflection from Chait et al about how all their personal bugbears later became the spearhead for fascist campaigns of harassment and discrimination

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

Once you really fully recognize that this isn't "identity vs biology" but rather individual self-determination being suppressed in favor of an ideologically constructed schema, it becomes infinitely clearer what's going on.

The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:
“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of
Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”

assume literally any other aspect of a holistic self-identity
Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework
You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

This shows that "doxxing" has become a meaningless, catch-all phrase for anything these guys do not like reported. @klong.bsky.social is an impressive reporter, who simply connected the anonymous postings of a self-declared racist to the public identity of someone directly altering government.

Transness is not about mental illness, hormones, or surgery--though it is the most obvious expression of trans identity.
Trans identity is the gift of autonomy over your gender.
While transness is most easily identifiable through gender dysphoria, its heart is self-exploration and empowerment.

The real weirdos are always super-invested in being high-IQ. It’s a huge part of their self-image.
I’ve known a lot of smart people, good and bad. I’ve never met a person whose entire identity was “high IQ” who wasn’t a completely insufferable douche.

it's worth noting 1) that there's a longstanding tradition of trying to play solidarity against basic self-respect and 2) that the Combahee River Collective's coining of the term "identity politics" was directly in response to this
i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.
