I agree. The far-left are what my fellow researchers call "regressive authoritarians" and they have been oushing a lot of Orwellian these past few years. And they have shown sighs of cult behavior and tactics. Doublespeak, groupthink, doublethink. Censorship. 2+2=5, a whole lot of others I can't think of right now.
But you're right.
It think the left like playing identity politics because they like to exploit minorities to use them to push social reform and to get their votes. And the left are all about bigger government.

This is a topic I feel strongly about. Take feminism for example, a once great movement to diversify and strive towards gender equality, now has been bastardised into a hate men campaign. A lot to say on that issue.

It makes a conundrum for me as it doesn't make any sense not to identify as Feminist. Women's rights is still very new. It's not even in one human life time that women had all the options anyone should have in life. At least in Western Civ. Now the term 'feminist' is the most loaded term in the language, a floating signifier, and if I say I'm a Feminist, some assume beliefs I don't have (many anti-feminists are glad to hate the label; very glib about it). 

That's the general problem with adopting many labels, but Feminist is affected the most. So I went from 'anti-femnist', to 'feminist'. I thought it was cowardly to not claim such. Now I realize its just ineffective. As much as some feminists are extremists, the word has become a pejorative in some sense. Which is really significant symbolically, and is why feminist principles still need championing. It doesn't have to have anything to do with men vs. women. Aside from rape laws which have fought that 'boys will be boys' mentally; now both genders have to think about consequences of social life which once only women did. Sometimes it is true that males dont like feminism because they lose privileges and the de facto male perspective that's accepted in some spheres.

Through my travels in life I've found that both men and women are striving for the same thing in life but trying to achieve it in different ways because of their biological and psychological make-up. A man wants a family, a woman does too - and similarly a man wants to be single and have fun, a woman does as well. But each try to achieve this in entirely different ways because of social constructs, ideologies and a whole range of forces in our micro and macro environments.

When people start getting a hang of this, truly, then I think we can move towards the common good. Rather than a blame game it can be changed into a life journey where we support each other. Gawd. I'm such an idealist lol

To me, at core, feminism claims women suffer more than men do because men protect a system that benefits them at the expense of others. I haven't found this to be true. And I haven't found that people need to identify with the ideology to be very well aware of women's struggles or champion for better treatment. 

I think the idea that women suffer because men ignore to their benefit is dangerous, it can create resentment and hinder conversation.

I wrote [this piece](https://steemit.com/feminism/@tommycordero/why-the-experience-of-being-trans-has-kept-me-from-identifying-as-a-feminist) about my views on feminism being trans, you may enjoy it.

It's weird that a woman being a tomboy is more accepted socially than feminine men, yet I think trans-male is less socially accepted than trans-female. do you think that's true?  

There is still some prejudice about women's choices of individuality which men don't experience, in my observations.
