Well I'm saying it's like any other type of identity possibly. You'd maybe be correct to have some pride in your identity, and there'd be nothing wrong with that. Your cultural practices may seem strange to people of other cultural experience but that doesn't make you wrong or them right, or the other way around.
I don't have to call your opinion bullshit, and you don't have to call my opinion bullshit. I see flaws in your opinions and will point those out. Why should you be conversant with my beliefs? You don't have to be. But equally you need to respect, I think, that I hold my opinion and could have a point if not the whole point and that you could be wrong about me.
I respect that you could be right, and am happy for you to have the freedom to express your opinion whether or not I agree with it or find it illogical. It's only when you start treading on my freedom that I squeal. People live with oppression. Sometimes there is no choice. Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision is sounding very enticing right now LOL
