    This is one of those weird left-conservative moments of correctly recognizing the mechanisms behind a social phenomena but then just jumping off straight into an ideology vortex.

    Like yeah, all modern LGBTQ identities are essentially consumer identities shaped by capitalism. But then so is every modern identity. Racial, ethnic, religious - it's consumer identities all the way down baybee. That's just the world we live in at the moment. In that context no given identity is invalid.

      They are probably class reductionists and agree with that full hearted

      Watching a TV ad for a grocery store and going "Grocery Shopping is just a consumer identity! We should be hunting and gathering! Wake up people!"
