To wonder if I’m just old and possibly on the wrong side of history

[bambambini]

I do wonder if we are possibly seeing the start of a huge shift in society and how people are generally perceived. Many of our young seem to want the future to be different from what we've always had - man/woman, male/female - the binary i guess.

Maybe the future will be where everyone is non binary, where all divisions as we inderstand them are broken down. So you won’t be able to tell for sure what sex anyone is, what body parts they have etc.

I’m critical of the current identity politics debate but that doesn’t mean to say I’m right. Maybe I’m struggling with getting my head around it and accepting it because I’m much older and grew up in different times.

We’ve already seen a huge change in social norms with women getting the vote, the break down of racial segregation, legalisation of homosexuality etc. Maybe identity politics is the natural progression.

You know the KKK said that the civil rights movement trampled on white people's rights too? Whenever a group seek to be treated equally another group claim that they will be pushed down the pecking order.

Speaking of racism in the southern US silent, plenty of black people during the Jim Crow era said their rights were being trampled on. And they were correct. There are numerous examples in history of groups who are already less privileged losing some of the few rights they have, and correctly pointing this out.

That's the thing about equal rights, it's always minorities who want them.

No it isn't. Women have a long history of wanting equal rights and we aren't in the minority. The same with people who don't have white skin, who form a significant majority of the planet.
