As a BLACK WOMEN, working to improve inclusion and diversity, I challenge your assumption.
Every day individuals from marginalized communities are harassed, threatened, trolled, stalked, reported, etc for shining a light on systems of institutionalized oppression #causeascene https://twitter.com/emilygorcenski/status/997858984106381312 …
Please read the full thread, I am not talking about harassment.

I have & what I’m saying is that as, marginalized individuals, your point have and are being used against us. When we talk, people assign these same words i.e. Nazi, Fascist, Marxist, etc. to us. Also, the very fact that you assumed I hadn’t read your thread highlights my point.
-
I am a person who has literally been harassed into fleeing my home and the country. I am a transgender woman of color. I assure you I am aware of your concerns and have addressed them explicitly already.
-
I am curious therefore why you do not acknowledge my explicit mention of these matters, given that you have seen them.
-
Because your experience is not mine. There’s no other explanation needed or necessary.
-
But I am not talking about your experience, I am talking about the accusations that my friend murdered someone.
-
I’m not negating that or your experience. I was responding to your initial tweet, which doesn’t invalidate it, it just challenges that there’s a boarder perspective. Your initial statement does not hold up under all circumstances.
-
My initial statement doesn't exist in that context, so I'm not really sure how to address this. I have explicitly called out precisely the same broader perspective you have accurately identified.

The tweet was about this story, if you're interested, but Twitter being Twitter erases that context when only a single tweet gets spread.https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/997826078168244224?s=19 …
