Yes, I often see people putting things into mutually-exclusive categories when I rather think they should be thinking with more of a tag system.

So many people (at least in the USA, but likely everyone) are so bound to an identity that includes X but explicitly excludes Y.

Worse yet those identities changed in their root definition, so that if you were some identity 20y ago, that now means something different.

For example, if you were a 2nd wave feminist, you're likely assumed to hate transgender people.
