It is an ironic paradox that:
Attempts at destroying binary labels in one dimension create new binaries in adjacent dimensions.
Basically maximizing labels (identities) creates an inherent conflict amongst identities because it further removes them from a unified label or identity group. As people more tightly identify with the group that highlights their _differences_ from other groups instead of their _similarities_ then society wide fracturing will occur.
This fracture will further drive unrest in the parent society. To make matters worse, if discussion of this potentially negative outcome of progress is seen as taboo then the cultural "brakes" that can be used to positively integrate the changes into the future society will be cut.

This is already happening. Talk of diversity is a duplicitous facade, as people are pushing more and more for segregation and uniformity, and issues are becoming matters of dogma rather than opinion. Hence why, as you said, it's taboo to have any questions or doubts about a group's narrative.
