okay white people repeat after me

“I am white. I never experience racism. I acknowledge the privilege that I have because of my skin color. Sometimes I may experience prejudice and hear hurtful generalizations or comments about my skin color, but it is not racism. My voice is important in conversations about racism, but it is not the focus. My experiences with racism do not outweigh those of people of color. ”



ok straight people repeat after me

“I am straight. I never experience homophobia or the oppression non-heterosexual people face because of their orientation. Sometimes I may experience prejudice and hear anger/frustration about my orientation, but it is not “heterophobia”. My voice is important in conversations about homophobia and the lgbq+ community, but it is not the focus. My experiences do not outweigh those of the lgb community”



ok cis people repeat after me

“I am cis. I never experience transphobia or the oppression non-cis people face because of their gender. Sometimes I may hear mean comments about being cis or experience prejudice, but it does not make me oppressed. My voice is important in conversations about transphobia and gender, but it is not the focus. My experiences do not outweigh those of trans people.”



ok cisgender men repeat after me

“I am male. I never experience sexism. Sometimes I may face gender discrimination or feel the negative consequences of the patriarchy and hypermasculinity, but I am not actively oppressed for my gender. My voice is important in conversations about sexism, but it is not the focus. My experiences do not outweigh those of women”
