Um. Are you missing the entire point of the quote, or am I? I understand the quote as meaning that we should speak out even when groups we do not identify with are being oppressed. But you seem to understand the quote as meaning that we should identify with as many groups as possible. I very much doubt the author of the quote meant it the way you do, and even if they did it just sounds very wrong. It's expected and accepted to not care about any other group than the ones you identify with then? I do not identify as LGBT or as a woman, so I should not speak out for LGBT and women's rights? What about groups that will remain small because you can't just decide one day to identify with them, they're screwed?
