Keith Green was prone to say, "just saying you're a Christian doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger." Identities matter, as do words, and as such, they are concrete and fixed and may vary slightly over time, but in the end, they never really "change." Just because someone says they identify as doesn't make it so. Biology is fixed and no amount of manipulation, be it surgical, chemical, etc will change that fact. We live in a world of absolutes, and these things never change.

The other one that always gets me is “people of color”, as if some people have no color! (Even pure albinos without any pigment are still white)

If they want to discriminate based on shades of color they need to invent a handy “melanin meter” so we can easily check just what percent of melanin we have. I’m sure the figures would shock many of us. Then we can leave it up to the social/cultural norms to determine which end (darker or lighter) is preferable, or maybe the perfect middle will be!
