Just because I’m for gay rights doesn’t mean I’m against black rights. Each group has their own unique needs and there is some interplay between them but there is absolutely not shame or downside to communicating those unique needs.
What you claim sounds very similar to an argument I often hear from right-wingers. “Gays and Lesbians already have equal rights. They have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex just like everyone else.”
There is a difference between equality and equity.
You claim that is the fault of minoritues demanding equal rights that inequality in wealth has risen rather than put the blame squarely where it’s deserved: the right wing, and people who couldn’t be bothered to vote against the right wing.
You claim that “leftists” are that different from tankies but judging by your own rhetoric, I’d say they are quite the same.

Nice neoliberal propaganda picture.
The actual Leftwing solution would be to remove the fence.
Also you’re “curiously” bypassing the whole “deeming people victims or oppressors based on the genetics they were born with rather than actually being victimized or victimizing others” part of my argument, which just so happens to be the core of it.
Leftwingers (and Humanists) help people based on their actual need, fight against any unjust treatment (not just for some identities but not others) and force the actual aggressors to compensate the actual victims for what they did to them, not give excuses for the aggressors or ignoring the victims because of their respective identities (unlike what’s so poignantly illustrated by the way the Democrat Party in the US has treated aggressors and victims in the Gaza Genocide).
So even in that propaganda picture of yours were the Ticket-buying Inducing fence stays up, the person on a wheelchair would get help under traditional Leftwing thinking because they have an actual need for it, not because of, say, being old - if they’re old but have no such need (say, a very wealthy person who had a very good life with proper food and living conditions so they did not end up on a wheelchair) they don’t get a wheelchair ramp merely for being old - and similarly a person who is not old (and hence not in an identity deemed in need by Identity Politics) and yet is on a wheelchair also gets a wheelchair ramp under Leftwing thinking because they too have a need, which is all that matters, not whatever identity label has been given to them.
So even in the Capitalist environment where that fence stays up, Leftwingers would help those who need help because they need help, whilst the Identity Politics warriors would be deciding if they would at all get help and how much help those who do get help would get, based on their identity rather than their actual personal need.
