When I did my thesis and at the same time also came to a view about identity politics, I concluded that whereas embracing any sort of identity as a defining feature of oneself, or viewing others identities as defining features, led to a false epistemology (false their of knowledge), having a correct understanding of oneself in relation to the world, including is prevailing political dynamics, means that one will automatically have the correct degree of compassion to suit any situation. First get right with oneself, and then everything else falls into place.
