ID-Entity

Just edited my “bio” section. Added my pronouns. Had to think about a recent conversation I had with a friend. How we concluded that the concept of identity in itself is problematic, but until we are collectively able to transcend the whole concept, it’s a good idea to break boxes that become too static, as everything is in a flux anyway and – when it comes to gender identity for example – maximum individuality is the path towards transcendence, so I believe at least: If everybody has a different gender identity, how can it be a category more important than my favorite sports team? Because I think the reason why these stiff categories like “male” and “female” are problematic is because of their value for society. Because Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Gender Assignment, Reproductive Traits, … are highly political. Let’s make it a thing of the importance of a preferred sports team. Then I’ll happily remove my pronouns from my “bio” section. But until then, I will continue to break all the boxes that feel too narrow, too stiff, too static.
