respectability politics, cissexism, exorsexism, anti-kin sentiments 

This talk that has been going on reminded me of a Tumblr post that was basically like this:

(Binary) trans identities are a mockery of GNC/LG cis people
Nonbinary identities are a mockery of trans people
[url=deviantart.com/pride-flags/gal] identities are a mockery of nonbinary people
Otherkin identities are a mockery of xenogender people
Fictionkin is mockery of otherkin
Divinekin is mockery of fictionkin

it's an eternal cycle

respectability politics 

Existing identities can inspire more specific/obscure/"niche" identities without them being a mockery of the original identities or "wannabe"/"fake" identities.

Understand communities before bashing them. Evaluate what harm they can possibly do and how. Don't blame literal minorities (not necessarily as groups that are more marginalized, I'm talking about smaller groups) for the harm society does to large(r) groups of people.
