The summary explains why "flattening identity groups" is problematic for research:

> In many settings, researchers seek to distribute their surveys to a sample of participants that are representative of the underlying human population of interest.

Separately, "differences" are not "either/or". Differences can be appreciated, understood and discussed while also celebrating shared humanity. That's the more evolved and nuanced take.
