My point is it's all identity politics.

At the commonest level, it's all identity politics. But if you are engaged in the adoption and projection of an identity, such as an Ethnic identity, a Paraphilic identity or a MAP identity, you need to then engage with social norms in some way to have any traction, any means of effecting a change. Otherwise, the best we can be doing is stylized political theory, a performative kind of activism. I would aver, the swift progress of recent trends in Queer politics, whereby various identarian groups were seen to gain recognition, might be misleading younger MAP activists, for example. Causing them not to center social invalidation before identity, engage with existing norms, modes of knowledge and thinking strategically. My contention is that anything we might consider "Queer" from around the conception of that term in the 1990s, has capitalized upon an already successful GLB movement, and the assumption things would just "progress". It's a luxuriant add-on.
