It is probably not a coincidence that the people who accuse others of 'telling X group what to think/how to feel' are the same people who don't know how to make an argument & don't even seem to think this is the way to address issues.

I just can’t wrap my head around it even though I see the phenomenon. Does it translate to predestination when considering future society? I look forward to the essay.

Kind of. The speech policing is about trying to reconstruct a world where people aren't marginalised. Because social reality is made up by dominant discourses, this is achieved by trying to control what they are.

Hmm. Think I have opposite view. Lived experience certainly opened my eyes 2 how exhausting poverty is. But people speaking out abt social issues often don't have it & so make wrong emphasis eg micro aggressions

Another example: assuming parents are wrong / not experts about child's disability

Had a HUGE falling out with people over this. “You don’t have X, so you can’t understand what it’s like for your child, you can’t advocate for them properly.” Really gets my goat!

Not quite what I meant. Was thinking along lines of initial diagnosis, more that professionals don't always listen to parents as they are not experts and I'm not talking all the time. Think I'll shut up now...
