Sexual identity and gender identity politics are prurient by definition. I think the American obsession with sex/gender politics is directly linked to its generally prudish culture, because talking about people's genitals and who is interested in fucking who is publicly acceptable only if a bigger issue is involved, such as politics. It is the same reason why Freud's theories spread like wildfire in the uptight Victorian culture, because people could talk about fucking under the guise of discussing psychology and mental health issues. I'm not discounting Freud's work per se, just explaining the big reason behind its cultural impact.
