Honestly - and I know this is going to ring of having compassion toward them, lol - but I think they are just spiritually deprived. They've bought into the scientistic worldview that can and will only consider what is objective and concrete. Therefore, they have no ability to understand or process feelings or intuition, much less sense a deeper purpose or substance to life beyond the "categories" that "the science" has deemed real.
So, they are stuck, seeking the truth, but unable to find it b/c they are looking to the world of made-up materialistic categories rather than the deeper, more complete spiritual world. They focus on vapid and shallow concepts of "identity" because they can't or won't see the deeper, more meaningful spiritual concept of identity.
Yes, well offered. But their excuses have run out, whatever the reasons for their abject delusions. While a semblance of genuine spirituality is ultimately a long-term prerequisite, there's no reason why a strict rationalist like a Dawkins can't see the handwriting on the wall and stop the destructive behavior. (Dawkins has recently come around about 160°, shocking his followers).
Oh yeah, for sure. The inability or unwillingness to see something more to life than just superficial labels and categories is a failing on their part, and as you say, even at that, they should be able to see the outcomes, the destruction their ideas and way of life cause to themselves and others. So, yeah, they need to change or they need to go. Because this isn't working and we can't change society to accommodate insane, addicted people. Enabling their illness and depravity is only going to make things worse.

God says that when He is continually rejected, He will turn them over to their evil desires. They are literally blinded to the truth.
