Something I have noticed is that many people from the word-soup brigade are actually trying to pick fights over it. They use their labels as an identifying factor. If they create an account in some web forum, the first thing they do is to write in their profile bio "I am a rainbow trans!" whereas everybody else (including LGBT+++ who are NOT picking fights) will have something normal. Such as "Hello, I am an accountant with a liking for COBOL and I am here to learn a lot about COBOL!"

Yes and no.

Somehow the notion that race is not a thing is gaining ground despite the fact humans have been classified by anthropologists using more or less objective criteria for quite a long time. For that record, it is easy to tell my favourite mare has French ancestry because she has a bunch of traits that link her to the Bretons and most other horses around here lack.

I think dennying our differences rather than embracing them is an exercise in futility.
