to look back at those insults that were directed at people in the 1960s and '70s. One of my favorites was when some grumpy person would say, "Would ya look at him! I can't tell if he's a boy or a girl!" And of course all of the progressive left had a group identity, but there was also the individual identity .... often similar to the tribal concept of a "vision quest" that gave a group member that individual meaning. And that was often what upset the larger society.
