Thanks a lot. Helps me to internally better parse these topics (see below).

Well for me this whole business is sometimes very hard. I learned by training to kind of understand most peoples way of thinking in borders (or discourses if you are to follow Foucault). Thinking in differentiation and defining ones self ex negativo in what they are not. But these thoughts/concepts do not come natively.

I understand, that this oftentimes has to do with identity, but deep inside me all these concepts do not really make that much sense.

I really have to internally translate and rationalize these ideologies like race, citizenship (being proud of some place where one was born is so weird imho), gender differentiation and so on. As I do not experience these feelings. I cannot relate as these concepts are totally alien to me.

Except maybe that I seem to be somewhat different in not understanding these concepts, as everybody else seems to do.
