Bias shows up not only in the actual content of what's said or written out loud. It threads its way through the very choices made. Choices of when to say something, of what not to say and why, of who to feature most prominently, and of how and where this stuff is shared.

Inviting a person to explore something vulnerable needs great care & respect. It's not something to 'get right', you can do your best to listen, to give undivided attention, & to make space for someone to speak in their own way. It's muddling through together.
