On the one hand we are asked to be understanding and sympathetic to something but then told we are excluded because we can never be part of a group. We are all equal and should be treated the same but we are all different and can never fully get/understand someone/something else.
Exclusion and inclusion mixed and matched and shuffled around in a dizzying array of word salads and confusion where each and every word, thought, action is scrutinized to find fault and underlying hatred of another group of people. If you disagree with the analysis it is because you don't understand and your hatred is so ingrained you are too blind to see it. Hence the priests will talk to you about your sinful/lustful ways and educate you - but with so many brands of the religion it is hard to keep track of which one to follow or which one you are offending today.
Especially sad when we all agree on basic premises - inequality exists and it is wrong and harms everyone. For everyone addressed and changed ten new ones pop up.
