Do you want to be empowered and feel represented on the basis of your values, or on the basis of your identity? While there are intersections between identity and values, the two are not the same. An order based on classical liberal values, for example, allows much room for free expression of identity. Moreover, it allows much room for continuous correction and improvement. An identity-based order, on the other hand, does not allow much room for free expression for those who don't share that identity, and often serves as an instrument of supression of their basic rights. As such, the answer to the question above has many existential implications and seems to be the one that is imposing itself on us at this stage, and on a global level. Therefore, we each need to have an answer. Personally, I prefer an order based on classical liberal values.
