I understand your point (I think I do) rationally. The difference is that I feel that any discrimination (figure, style, voice) is wrong... which is extreme, correct? I wasn't very anxious about those because they felt controllable, and now I learn there is a different trait which I might not be conscious of, affecting my behaviour. That (belief) causes anxiety.

Yes, I'd say that's a pretty extreme view. I'm also not sure what you mean by controllable? I'd argue most of the uniqueness of humans comes as a product of the environment they were raised in, which isn't really something we have control over.

Also I have real bad news if you're worried about things you're not conscious of affecting your behaviors.
