In short it's to do with each of us coming from different starting points. If it's a case you're asking why are anarchists so variegated, are you really saying: "What a bunch of mutants. Why can't they be all sane and respectable like me?".
Language may well be ithe bewitchment of our intelligence and the singular nature of the term 'anarchism' may be beguiling you. Just think of it ending with a silent "s”. It has never been one big homogeneous singularity and never will be. For the record, I'm a straight, white, working-class male and afaict the diversity is good for us all. My only wish is that we could find ways of working better together instead of being in perpetual battle with each other.
The reason I have a flag on my twitter account is to inform others this particular marginalised people is where I want to focus my activism on. It's useful for easier identification of allies, especially in cases where there are online disputes.
