Only people that have no ability to think for themselves have a need to put others into categories of acceptability based on what the dominant culture around them thinks instead of judging them based on their individual merits.

What if someone’s judgement of your individual merits just happens to agree with the dominant culture around them? Or is that not possible? Does the ability to think for ones self necessarily lead to disagreement with whatever is commomly believed? I think that would just be dumbass contrarianism.

  Oooh, now that would be very convenient, wouldn’t it?

  At the very least, it requires entertaining ideas and possibilities widely believed to be unthinkable, even if you do end up discarding them for lack of evidence.
