if you are antiracist or antimisogynist then you aren't against identity politics. it seems very difficult to distinguish between "good lib/left idpol" and "bad lib/left idpol" in this world where people are so alienated that Starbucks using surplus profit from exploited workers overseas to make an LGBT advertising campaign actually helps someone feel welcome. I guess we should try to be extremely cognizant of conflating meaningful praxis and the inspirational activities of corporations and politicians. We.... shouldn't pat ourselves on the back for treating trans people like humans. But these performative gestures, no matter how much they pander, cannot be given up; they just shouldn't replace M4A, anti-imperialism, etc..
