In reply to the discussion: How is it NOT a display of white privilege to mock the idea of "Safe Spaces"? [View all]Humanist_Activist
(7,670 posts)where people are free to discuss their experiences without having outside interference from the IRL version of trolls. They mostly began, on campuses with both racial and sexual minority groups forming. You don't need a transgender discussion group to invite people with no experiences in being transgender allowing them to participate. Even more so if said participants are just going to go on and on about delegitimizing the experiences, feelings, etc. of transgender individuals.
I really don't understand the pushback against this idea, yes, there are some people abusing the terminology of "safe space" but, frankly, most of it is hyperbole from anti-PC "bigots" who hate diversity in general. Kinda like what happens to the term "feminism", being a feminist myself, I absolutely hate the right wing framing of the term, it even infests so called progressive circles.
