A poor excuse. To label the two things the same implies they are equal, but they are not. Your statement implies the left should be holding back to stop the right from countering. Imagine if we had not abolished slavery simply because it could (and did) cause some people to become more racist. Arguing that the left should simply let some people have their rights denied, because the right will throw a hissy fit is unconscionable. The right labelling the left's attempts to give everyone equal rights as 'identity politics' is the political equivalent of 'stop hitting yourself' as they grab your hand and force it into your face. They are the ones denying people their rights based on identity, fighting that is not wrong, whatever doublethink you want to apply.
