"The American justice system is all about intent, motive, mind-reading. "
That is why abstracted (or constructed) notions of identity are so important to the American. Because one cannot engage in adequate mind reading unless one also has an imaginative or ideological figuration of the range of behavior of certain types of human being. A "woman" of instance will necessarily behave differently from "a man", so we need to mind read her differently.
