Trying to represent and perform identity in your pursuit of interests and curiosities is a bit like trying to have a full conversation with a cat, like it understands human language. Nature might respond somewhat to aspects of identity but the performance is largely lost on it.
Not if Y is performing their identity 100% in generating that work. My assertion is that performance is a curiosity/interest blinding force. It’s only interesting if it is interested, ie if Y can break out of Y mode to look at world in ways X may not.

Ok I think I’ve sorted it out, and I think we agree. I was not disagreeing just trying to say that if you are investigating identity it can be revealing to observe pure identity performers. Especially if you are of the unnamed class.

Other identity groups have more explicit and legible definitions. Those definitions are often created in response to the default cultural identity. The default identity is assumed and implicit. So you can learn about the default identity by examining other groups.

Hang on a sec. I’ve got to parse our X and Y to trying and understand what we’re saying to each other.
