I am a privileged queer. I'm within striking distance of earning six figures. My employer is one of the 207 that provide trans-inclusive healthcare.
I really worry about becoming one of the folks who advocates for assimilation, to the detriment of many of my queer friends.
goals
- work to become more aware of my privilege (warning: this is a really really difficult thing to do)
specific steps
Become more aware of my privilege:
- Hang out with people who don't have the same privileges as me. Even if it's a little uncomfortable. Listen to them. (really... really listen to them) Don't try to speak for others.
