Okay so can I just say one thing #medievaltwitter. Specifically to white medievalists. Stop using nebulous and undefined “BIPOC” that you “know” in an effort to shut down conversation from other BIPOC. Obviously experiences differ. YMMV. 1/4

But doing this whataboutism literally helps no one. If there is dissenting opinion within a group that you are not a part of? Don’t step in it. 2/4

And this goes to straight people who like to put LGBTQ in their mouths when talking to (over) us. You say you advocate for us? Okay, stop talking over us then. Thanks. 3/4

Elevate, RT, read/listen, and support. If people say shit is harmful? Pay attention and stop stomping all over that in an effort to appear like they aren’t considering everyone and everything. 4/4

Also as a clarification for my first tweet: seeing white medievalists say things like “well other BIPOC disagree!” Okay well: who? Why do you need to talk over other BIPOC discussing this because other BIPOC disagree? CEASE.
