How is it submissive or humiliating to recognize you’re not owed an education from anyone, let alone marginalized people? I get why it’s embarrassing to realize you expected one and that’s kind of messed up. But it’s embarrassing the way personal growth tends to be.https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1224916120479518720 …

I see it used as a criticism-escape, and they give an extremely unhelpful 'google' (which gives lots of contradictory information), or direct me to one-sided opinion pieces that just raise more questions than it answers.

I totally buy that sometimes people don't wanna explain basics over and over. But every time I've heard someone tell me it's not the job of a marginalized person to educate you, it has *not* been for an easily learned and undisputed basic fact.

Out of curiosity, what questions have marginalized people opted out of answering for you?

One concrete example is nonbinary stuff. I did a bunch of googling about nonbinary identities and had a ton of questions that google didn't answer well, so I found a nonbinary discussion group and asked them my questions. They got FURIOUS at me.
