it signals in-group membership to others. it doesnt actually mean anything.
>hello, i too am one of "us" *wink wink*. lets mutually support each other in conflicts with people from the out-group.

I think it’s something like that. But will the list eventually have all groups?

In some ways, it doesn't get longer. I've never seen a list that was well-aligned with US employment anti-discrimination law. There's always a handful of categories that are missing.

Haha true, my mind always translate it to "but what about the children's".
It reminds me when those people raise their hand in a talk and say “what about security” and aren’t happy until you add the word “security.” Comically, even if nothing in the content is changed. Just adding the word makes them happy and I found it interesting that they didn’t actually assess whether the project was secure and obviously nothing changed except for a label so it was unusual to me that they would be happy since the security posture didn’t change at all.
