"Although criticizing “identity politics” has become a hobby for some
(on both the right and left), appreciating how racial, gender, sexual,
and other identities help shape our experiences and perspectives can be
critical to productive political discourse.

These identities are not without consequence, after all, nor are their
consequences of secondary importance to other, more universal, concerns.
They are often central to people’s lives."
