This could be the kind of approach in transgressing the boundaries of identities through politics, without being trapped by binaries of mutual exclusivity.

The latter are often imbued with built-in mindsets to adjust to any amount of injustices. Especially when specific forms of injury and sufferings, institutionally inflicted on the "other-ed"are dished out as items for entertainment- Watching a footage of unpleasant events through the idiot box, without an iota of sense of guilt for complicity through silence is a case in point. One can imagine that his/ her position is fortified by "education","modernity", "postmodernism"or whatever; nevertheless, this could eventually be challenged by the uneducated, the lot of suffering people.
