I'm a lesbian, about to be married to a woman. I'll send you wedding pictures eventually, if you'd like.

I hate most SJWs because they speak OVER people like me.

To me, there's a difference between activism and SJism. The former is positive--it considers what actually affects minorities and listens to them. The latter is what you get when straight white people try to champion a cause and refuse to listen to people who are minorities, thus making the activists look bad.

I hate that too but it gets complicated when people assume that people aren't in the group they're talking about when they really are. I'm so sick of people refusing to believe that someone in the same group as them could possibly disagree with them. I don't know that you do that, but it happens a lot and it's so frustrating because the same people who complain about being talked over end up erasing others like them.

I hate members of the groups in question talking "for the group" so much. It takes a few heaping servings of arrogance to assume that one's own single, lived experience makes one an expert for all others involved. How about everyone in this discourse just learns to listen to experiences as a valuable input without anyone involved generalising them across the whole group?

Like, my experience with racism are super different from those of my own brother - how on earth could I presume to speak for any and all members of ethnic minorities in my city, never mind my country?
