LisPiI kind of hate when people post comments assuming domain-specific knowledge from laymen such as "the fact people need to be told this is a little troubling to say the least". It shows those people have not tried to even see how hard bootstrapping the knowledge they're assuming of others actually is, especially now that search engines have enshittified into uselessness and the hardware their comment pertains to no longer comes with useful manuals for their operation. In a lot of cases, the knowledge also pertains to hacks for patching over design flaws & botched work that should've been done properly to start with (which would make said knowledge entirely obsolete as anything other than a curiosity). It reeks of unacknowledged <a class="hashtag" href="https://udongein.xyz/tag/privilege" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privilege</a> (and a heaping of normalization of deviance).

Pauline von Hellermann2/2 also recognising now how my previous ability to post and engage so much more here was really rooted in immense privilege: as a university lecturer, i had a steady income, control over my time, confidence, freedom, identity: all this is now gone, all making me unable to post.

Oppression isn't something that just happens to people. My forebears built some hefty <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/systems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#systems</a> of oppression, but these systems still need buy-in to keep going.In computer systems, we use the word <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/privilege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privilege</a> to describe the level of <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/access" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#access</a> a user has.

When people say that they don't want this taught because it will make their <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#children</a> feel bad about themselves, they usually mean one of two things: - /they/ feel bad about this <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evil</a> themselves, and they feel the kind of <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/guilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guilt</a> that they want to hide from.

Alex Wolf 🐺🌍🏳️‍🌈I have a work social media persona. My "worksona". It's who I represent as on LinkedIn and also on here.I also have an authentic social media persona. It's another account on another server under an alias. An anonymous alias.Why does this discrepancy exist? Because I talk about lived experiences, values, and positions on my second account that are stigmatized by society. Mental health. Neurodivergence. Gender. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FuckTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckTheSystem</a>.My "worksona" is not me. It's a construct I shaped to maximize my chances by allowing me to harness conditional privilege: mainly that I'm _read_ as a white assumed cisgender, neurotypical, heterosexual, able-bodied man. But it's a mask. It means I'm keenly aware of the discrepancy in privilege that is granted based on how one is perceived.I've been slowly incorporating more authenticity into my "worksona" but the sad truth is that there's still a wide chasm between who I really am around the people I trust and who I am in a professional context. There is literally only a single person who knows the full me and also knows me in real life. Everyone else gets a filtered version. Why? Stigma. Stigma that's assigned to layers of my identity I have no control over.This is what privilege is about. Chances are that if your "public persona" aligns closely with your authentic self that you benefit from a whole lot of privilege (or that you're a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/neuroqueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroqueer</a> rebel; I see you and applaud you). And to the white men in my followers: this is what people talk about when they say you have privilege. The insidious truth is that it's _invisible_ to you because you probably don't know anything else. But there are many people around you who just _pretend_ to look and act like you.I am one of the people who pretend.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/privilege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privilege</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/career" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#career</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#work</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/neuroqueer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroqueer</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodivergent</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cis</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/oppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oppression</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/comingOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comingOut</a>

Rat Can't Read (she/her)(6/?) And I am coming at this from a place with a lot of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/privilege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privilege</a>.

I wonder...I should not have to say this....Those of you who have the <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/privilege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privilege</a> to not buy specific groceries ... It. Doesn't. Matter. People who need to eat will buy what they can afford. They are looking at prices, not sources.
