The best bit is the part where I just think I'm losing my mind because I haven't worked out why it's happening yet. It's the best. Absolutely. Best.

Goddammit.

Ugh "civil world"

But there are so many ways to learn, especially if you're an educated and resourceful person. I guess sometimes people don't know what they don't know.

Because I think that's what I read when you wrote kindly.

What you say shouldn't have to tone police to nice or subservient to be valid. You shouldn't have to justify your humanity or be exceptional to be "accepted". You shouldn't have to baby white adult children who don't do their own damn work.

I don't understand your experience,except for glimpses as a queer person

Is there middle ground like Dr King spoke about? Where you behave in a way that protects your soul but you don't let us white people trod all over your dignity?

I don't think you should have to self police your tone to "nice"
