        It's not showing that you're weak, it's showing that you are curious and interested in the world around you and people who live other lives.

        That goes for cis, gay white guys like myself often as well. Taking the time to learn — affirmatively — about others' lives is so important.

        @chrisgeidner And that makes you part of the problem. Turning it into identity politics means those you're trying to reach will ignore.

        @chrisgeidner @emily_esque "Could I ask you about X?" seems the most respectful. The person I ask might not want to educate me, & that's ok.

        @chrisgeidner @dfreelon Because gender, sexual, and race identities are the only ones for which it is unwise to speak for others?
