Hiding those facts ensures I get a fair read- ahead of any assumptions.... yet people who require identity politics to prop up their arguments infer whatever they want me to be. It happens a lot. Usually I'm a white guy from Texas who enjoys shouting at Trans-folk and slaps his wife around. Sometimes I'm a militant lesbian. On one occasion I was even a Black Panther. People show their biases straight out of the gate when you remove the immediate gratification of dismissal. I'm a more interesting person than my immutable characteristics, something I share with every individual on the planet. Everyone is more interesting when you don't try to group their thoughts together as 'what X type of person thinks'. You don't have to like the Penguin mask, but it's there for a reason.
