I am an activiston for change. Thanks to me, Portland, Oregon is the best city on the continent. Only by exposing male microaggressions will the struggle against the Salt Lake partriarchy be won. When turned on POC/womyn become (rightfully) emotional in discussions about patriarchal oppression, they are often told to “fix their tone” or to “relax” — in order to have “a more civilized conversation." When womyn and their allies call out microaggressions or challenge other problematic behaviors in others in Sacrament Meeting, they are sometimes said to be “escalating situations” or “picking fights," instead of being viewed as advocating for justice or equity. Defund the police!
I also challenge you to perhaps empathize with a person of color, or transindividual who might be angry or emotional, especially when discussing lived experiences with systemic oppression. Imagine living in a world where you are constantly fighting institutional discrimination and interpersonal microaggressions, above and beyond your everyday work and life responsibilities. Perhaps you might get a little angry, too. In the name of the blessèd rainbow unicorn mother, Amyn.
