e/Status shift

Information
has gloss	eng: A status shift requires a conversion experience, acquiring a new and overwhelming primary identity, such as becoming a "born again" Christian. Some statuses are mutually exclusive, like black and white, or male and female. Other statuses are not mutually exclusive, but contextual; people can be both black and Hispanic, or both a mother and a senator. One of the identities might be used in certain settings, while the other is used in different settings where the other status is unfavorable, undesireable, or unnecessary.
