You are wonderfully and fearfully made.
Fingerprints often take center stage when it comes to our uniqueness, but there are many other factors that set us apart as unique individuals. Your iris pattern, for instance, is all your own. The folds of your ear are actually very distinctive. It's sometimes not very detectable, but you emit your own specific scent, which is why dogs are so useful when searching for missing people.
And those are just a few examples. You are, both inside and out, one-of-a-kind. There is no one out there like you. When you die, you might have descendants who share some of your traits, but they will not be you. There will never be another you.
One aspect of living in a society is that individuals are often relegated to groups. Racial groups, religious groups, tax brackets, and even fanbases and hobbyists. It's not a bad thing that this happens. We are a tribal species, after all, and we find comfort, safety, and even advancement in groups.
We, unique individuals, are designed to draw together to form groups, adding our own special uniqueness to any given situation, and we kind of thrive on that.
But the left does something insidious with this drive to unite. They use it to divide.
They utilize our penchant to form tribes and find ways to turn these tribes against each other to the point where we stop seeing each other as wonderfully and fearfully made, but as something that's not even human altogether.
You can probably think of some right off the top of your head, be it racial differences or the divide between the sexes.
I think one of the most awful examples of the modern era is the left's manipulation of "gender," and how they used the concept to create such a gulf between people that it has resulted in the murder of innocents on more than one occasion.
You've likely seen the picture of Charlie Kirk's murderer plastered on any working screen you own, whether it's a cell phone or a television. According to reports, Tyler Robinson had been radicalized since the age of 18 and had a transgender lover. As you may well remember, the transgender community is one of the most politically radical of them all. Antifa expert Andy Ngo often refers to Antifa as "Trantifa" because the two communities intersect so often.
The left has spent so much time telling the transgender community that they're in danger from everyone else that they truly believe they have enemies on all sides. Of course, what seems to be an unhealthy amount of Cluster B personality disorders doesn't help, but if you watch people who identify as transgender speak, they seem obsessed with how hated they are and how much their lives are on the line.
They see someone like Charlie, who doesn't hate them but does see their "transgenderism" as a mental illness, and these people are more than willing to become violent under the excuse that it's necessary to protect themselves.
They think they're being dehumanized by everyone, and as a result, they end up dehumanizing everyone else and feel no qualms about murdering people.
Obviously, it doesn't stop with transgenderism. Many people on the left celebrated Charlie's death because they, too, had dehumanized their ideological opposites to the point where they don't see their fellow humans as human at all. They develop a murder culture with a clear conscience.

But this is what happens when you place people in boxes and tell them the other box is trying to kill them, lock them up, strip them of their rights, and compare them to the worst people in history.
And it's tragic, not just because people die, but because they strip every single person who is wonderfully made and turn them into a number within a group. Uniqueness in mind, body, or experience doesn't matter. According to the left, your most shallow identifiers give you a "shared experience" whether you had that experience or not, and that "shared experience" is often victimization at the hands of another group with different shallow identifiers.
Tragically, so many individuals are convinced to throw their individuality away to fit in with a struggle that isn't as bad as the left tells them it is in the first place. They will abandon their own talents and gifts to become a body to count, and adopt a prejudice that only deepens the more that group buys into the lie.
What would our society look like if we had more respect for the individual? If we helped those get back to their true self instead of tossing themselves in with a collective?
We'll never know at this point, but one thing is certain. We need to emphasize the quality of the individual.
