What's an example of someone you've had this work with? As in, in which ways they were "very unlike you"?

I'm happy to discuss. But it feels like the quotes denote a subtext. Is there something in particular on your mind?

Oh, no subtext. Just wondering how far have you managed to take this approach and have it work. The quotes were because I was quoting.

Wondering because it seems to me listening and being respectful only works for bridging relatively small "unlike" gaps.

What you're pointing out is not about size of gap so much as power gradient direction (uphill or downhill relative to local 'normal human')

As I see it, "power gradient" is just another kind of "gap". If you have more power than me, then you are "unlike me" in that respect.

Semantics perhaps, but it seems like a qualitatively different attribute of a gap than other aspects

all the usual basic social identity ones: race, gender, age, sexual identity, ethnicity, language, physical appearance...

Don't all of those imply also a power differential? Not sure I see how can you separate the two.

Sure, but they are not primarily about power. For eg 2 languages may have no meaningful power distance but still cause communication issues
