We are emerging a culture of self-identification, which is intriguing. This is clear in the Pronoun phenomenon around gender. There are now at least 10 or more variants. This seems to have merit. It's when others make the identity choice by bias, not the individual by experience

How do you self-identify according to common isms such as Race, Gender, Ethnicity, Class etc? Or do you prefer not to? Or something else (and please share!) #Identity

I identify by race, religion, and gender. I am a proud black Jewish male. My father always taught me in both race and religion we are stronger together. I understand why so ppl don’t but it’s not for me.

To me, that's delightful. Because YOU choose the reason and identity. And the order in which each aspect appears. Not others, who will always assume, and usually wrongly assume.

I try hard not to put myself or others in boxes but no doubt fail. I probably fail most where the boxes are ones my parents wanted for me which I disassociate from. e.g. I strongly define myself as *not* Tory but wear my allegiance to any other party lightly

How's that play out within your family? Politically aligned mostly in mine, with the exception of me at 4 asking my parents since Israel was built to save Jews from harm why were we doing harm in1967? Anti-Zionist by 4 years old? Unpopular and disliked to this day for that logic!

I like that. I "acknowledge" self. That's a strong statement. With mittens for the social democrat ;-) (I gotta be meme lol)

White, queer, working-class. As far as pronouns go: e/em/eir or they/them/their (in no particular order!).

Pretty straight-forward (to pun prison I go, no pardons for that bad wordplay).
