I have a question for trans people willing to answer.
Background is that I'm learning how different types of oppression lead to different ways of navigating.
Background is that I'm learning how different types of oppression lead to different ways of navigating.
The fact that Black kids generally grow up in Black families, knowing they're Black, makes racism different from homophobic, transphobia, and ableism, for instance.
I'm in groups for autistics and parents of autistic kids and I've found that while they combat ableism there's definitely a desire not to push allistic parents out.
Because even if it's oppressive ultimately they are fighting for the children not just like a better world (not to belittle justice lol).
My question, with willingness to shut up and be corrected, is... would you consider... treating well-meaning parents... differently? than you might generally treat someone "well-meaning" but harmful?
I don't know if I'm phrasing this well. I just.... parenting is very hard and we have to take care of children and it just seems more urgent to me than math.
But i also am not asking anyone to bear the burden of being hurt. I know it sucks. Idk. I guess I'm just thinking out loud about things that make me sad. For fun!!
I feel like this is a bad thread and i should delete. I hate not knowing if I'm being crappy to my friends!!
