1/Let me say this. I& #39;ve lectured self-described radical groups and conservative women. You& #39;d be surprised what some groups agree on once they come to understand concepts that are new to them. I understand why people get defensive when new concepts are introduced.

2/If you& #39;ve lived your life one way and your life has been rather insular maybe you& #39;ve never met Sex Workers (I have), maybe you haven& #39;t been in Disabled spaces (I have) or Black Queer spaces (I have/I am). Then you may not understand those joy, struggles, or movements. So listen

3/I urge folx not to dismiss lived experiences, deep research, and/or labor of movements that are trying to achieve equity, inclusion, and equal access without first asking questions to aid your understanding. Just because "you don& #39;t get it" someone else probably does. Ask! But,

4/Don& #39;t ask for free labor. If someone wants to answer your question, that& #39;s up to them. Don& #39;t demand it. Just because it challenges your current belief system or makes you uncomfortable that& #39;s not on them, that& #39;s on you.
