The extreme partiality of putting people into boxes

This video is simple, well argued, clever, confident, and fits with my own experience ... Also slightly mind-blowing, to understand the uselessness, the extreme partiality of putting categories around anyone about anything. And mind-blowing to understand that it is ingrained, we can't help ourselves, it is the way we work.

I'm not sure if I can unlearn this, but can see that it would be good to try ...

Key quotes:

'Where exactly does one become a second class citizen?'

'Just being other than straight doesn't mean we necessarily have anything in common.'
