Real post coming soon. In the mean time, here's a link that I'll probably be referencing forever. I love finding things on the Internet that are exactly the answer to a question I get asked a lot. Feels less lonely, and also adds a comforting weight to the arsenal of "no, I am not disturbed, and here's why," in which I seem to always fumble, trying to answer those oft-asked questions.
Anyhow, enjoy:

"This sort of “concern” for the people who practice it, however well-meaning, is part of what stigmatizes us and marginalizes us."
ReplyDeleteIt certainly reinforces a stigmatizing pattern of social currents; I'd like to see something a bit more substantive than "guys, stop being such crap allies, please?"
