The way that we determine identities is very much tied up in assumptions about what things are "correct" or "normal" and even when we're using those identities to disrupt normalized categories, we're often supporting the existence of those categories by acknowledging them as things that merit disruption. (This is one of the big catch-22s that I've struggled with in figuring out to explain myself, both to myself and to others.)
