Sooooo....
...how much does @BreneBrown center on Black women, BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQ?
not opposed to all boundaries per se
BUT am a bit skeptical 🤨 🧐 🤔
in context of #DEI & structural inequity & racism
This can serve as a convenient “opt out” as a part time “ally”

This is a reality for many of us WOC entering spaces defined by white feminists
Am not Black. No one tries to touch my hair. I “pass” in ways that reduces how much I navigate vs get to “be”
When will boundaries of WOC be respected?

Is it your boundaries that cause you to quietly, when no one can see or hear, act like this?
..to ✅ “I am a good person” for your own ego
while leaving black woman or BIPOC dealing with all the consequences
plus maybe 😒🤢😡😖😞triggered by flimsy, token support yet again

“Memory” from FB: The time I could not breathe despite 6 puffs of albuterol.
Severe asthma attack.
#blackqueens - thank you for always being there. Of all the women in the world, if I had to choose one at my side, I pick a #blackqueen every time. You all are the real deal.

That year ended up a patient in ED twice cuz
-I was working a lot of 12-hour night shifts in the ED
-working as many hours as uncompensated/volunteer for ACA policy work including flying to D.C. often
-dancing non-stop in between
This is how I look w/peak flow ~200 (red) btw

The #DrSusanMoore story really makes me think. I had a #blackqueen nurse friend who worked at the hospital & who knew that I don’t look sick when I am about to collapse. She was not caring for me, rather able to come visit me after she completed her own 12-hour shift.

Hmm..so have to say, the most misogyny I have encountered is on #MedTwitter mostly from anon account doctors or anti-vaxx.
& tho I repost "The Female Lead" I have rare to no trolls or harassers. I have found @LinkedIn pretty female-friendly, in fact. Rarely get a weird message

My first run in was an all male group of doctors discussing IVF and ridiculing acupuncture as not evidence based but they had fragility to any aspect of IVF itself at all questioned or perceiving even tolerance of acupuncture as "quackery"
My point then was more a people in glass houses should not throw stones. There is a difference between clinical trials existing and #EBM as I know from having been on the payer side where business-minded clinicians' narrative advances ahead of science: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Woah..that was freaky but familiar. Was lying down & decided to get up to take pain meds for #endometriosis and #fibroids and it felt as painful to get up as the day after surgery. In kitchen, sweating, lightheaded. Quickly squatted to avoid passing out holding onto fridge door
..which swung open..but I did not fall. Then once head feeling better, stood up long enough to take meds...then walked, wobbly and lightheaded to chair. I can't quite feel my palms but that will come back. This probably gets to be called 10/10 pain..but maybe really an 8/10
Great..and a migraine too..scotoma.. taking a migraine med and lying down. Man, when it rains it pours.
Mother Nature is such a misogynist.
SO glad I did not decide to rent a car and try to go Finger Lakes this weekend to see peak foliage.

On "called in" versus "called out": in fact, a true ally can tolerate being "called out" to model #learning #mindset/#growthmindset for others. Those who need everything to be done hidden/in private reveal they care more about image, optics, their own reputation.
People need to let go of this concept of "shame" or "did you just call me a racist"? Everyone has more to learn. Was just discussing with a woman who pointed out elite programs in the U.S. fulfill "diversity" quotas with "Black" from Africa rather than descendants of slaves.
The underlying issue of exploitation, specifically slavery, was #economic. The experience of personal + generational trauma + loss of generational wealth + loss of identity is a deliberate #systematic #systems approach to value extraction for economics.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but providing examples of being nice or supportive to women in your own family does not make on a feminist or pro-woman nor does that make you anti-racist regarding POC or WOC or BIPOC. The "I am a good person" is at the root of much harm.
Okay, I do know who needs to hear this and this was not really a subtweet because the individuals who fit this description do not use Twitter. But there is more than one individual who may or may not need to have some deep reflection on what "I am a good person" says about ego.
This is from Australia. If in these times, as a not BIPOC, certainly as a not Black person in America, you are asking "Are you calling me a racist?!" (when that word not uttered but, yes, #implicitbias exists and racism is a #public health crisis)....

What is the image and coloring of “an angel” or “a cherub”?
Not a Black child. These are powerful images that inform how people view and then treat children
Who is “innocent”?
Ask any advertiser. Images are powerful and change behavior

There is suspension and punishment of Black girls and boys as early as age 3 called “preschool to prison pipeline”

Mes sœurs, c'est faux, il y a toujours mieux ailleurs et tous les hommes ne sont pas pareils.
C'est ce genre de discours que l'on entend souvent chez nous de la part de toutes les couches de la population, des choses que vous vous dites et vous passez toute votre vie dans un Mariage malheureux, avec un homme infidèle, irresponsable, sans amour, sans attention, ...
