I'm constantly stunned at how many people seem to think that being grouped by category they didn't choose is some kind of insult.

Which always makes me wonder what's going on in their heads when they refer to people who aren't like them. How committed to valuing diversity can they really be if they think that all things which are named are being slurred? What are they really saying about someone who's different from them when they linguistically mark them? Nothing good, I'd guess.
