community accountability
~Differentiate between linking oppressions and oppression olympics.
~Recognize that discussing gender politics, pronoun choice, safe space, visibility, etc are privileges that most people do not have, and that huge swaths of people across the globe are routinely and rigidly oppressed based upon sex, gender, race, and class.
~Understand that no personal journey, process, choice, label, or experience is free of a social/cultural context.
~Understand also things like institutional power, blaming victims (shifting accountability), internalized oppression, horizontal hostility, and tokanism.
