what i think they meant is, if you took two, white, lesbian, one legged women, they would not be the same, and these things do not define who they are.
unless they are one of those people who wear it on their sleeve.
they wake up in the morning and the first thing that crosses their mind is "I am a feminist/lesbian/homosexual/working class/well bred/so macho it hurts/member of a downtrodden race/far superior to anyone else/loser*
*delete as appropriate.
We all know people like this they do have a defining character trait that seems to consume them, take it away and they have nothing.
It's like a emotional crutch that while they crave equality and recognition of their struggle without it they would emotionally starve.
