Grabbed a walk, and was thinking about my identity 

Not Pagan as in "I honor the Aesir, Vanir, and Disir in what I best think reflects my ancestors' practices" but Pagan as in "I believe there's a spiritual side to the universe and that She actually is okay with us and doesn't need us to jump through an unending series of hoops."

Not Jewish as in "I go to synagogue and celebrate holidays without fail," but Jewish as in "some of my ancestors centuries ago came from the middle east and, since then, we've been degraded and murdered all over Europe and the USA for it, so *I* get to define myself and refuse to be classified as 'white' for someone's convenience - especially not while other folks want to degrade and murder us for it."

I am still unsure whether I would embrace the label "disabled."

@Leucrotta If Pagan doesn't feel right, you might consider witch. It's considered gender neutral these days and also has a dose of "fuck capitalism and the patriarchy" in it.
