Why do you think everyone else starts to resent these groups.

Because they are systematically oppressed, harrassed, discriminated against etc. Most people seem to have eventually accepted and embraced diversity and the belief that persons in the defined protected groups shouldn't be treated less favourably than others.
These groups were chosen for good reasons and not on a whim.

Not every disabled person is able to defend themselves. Should you suffer online abuse etc you won't be forced or obliged to use the protection afforded to you.

There is no way the public would accept such a thing, let alone Parliament.

No idea where you've got the labelling thing from, this is not part of the initiative at all.
I see you've evaded another question put to you.
