Because all forms of “Identity” are symptoms of cognitive error (avidyā) which result in SUFFERING.

Identity is constructed around external and superficial factors like.

Physical appearance, Gender - binary and non-binary, Class/caste, Race, political alliances, personal achievements, residence, achievements, professions, hobbies, sports etc.

All forms of identity create attractions and aversions and create ever increasing forms of alienation between subject-object and between people.

Nevertheless, identities are important for the functioning of society - so it is not identities per se which is the central spiritual problem but rather ATTACHMENT to those identities and our psychological fusion with them. In other words the inability to let go is the problem.

The goal of all spirituality is to ascend towards WISDOM and INTEGRATION and in the process to decrease suffering and increase happiness and well-being and to promote altruism, fellowship, cooperation and collaboration in society. As long as we are stressing identity-politics and constantly affirming difference and hierarchy, social integration and spiritual wisdom cannot be achieved - conflict is assured and the end result for individuals is neurosis, depression, dysfunction and alienation.

So if you want to achieve abiding and true happiness you’ll need to start shedding your attachment to your various identities and rather to identify with the conscious Self (jīvātman) - a factor we share in common with all sentient beings.
