WHOA HO HO ANSWERED BY A LESBIAN WHAT A LICENSE. I bet you feel entitled.

The most important thing to take from this is to move toward eradication of the “my friend identifies as [blank], so all [blank] people [do this thing].”

There is no universal experience. Not for any group of people. You would never say, “Well, my straight friend really hates her middle name, so straight people really don’t like their middle names.” Why is it suddenly okay to do this for the socially otherized groups?

1.) If someone asks you about your experience as a [blank] person, should you choose to respond, make sure you specify that your experience is not that of every other [blank] person.

2.) If someone asks you about the experiences of a group of people that you do not identify as, DON’T RESPOND. Direct that person to someone of that group who would be willing to give an answer, or send them to Google because come on guys it’s the internet do some research it’s so easy it’s painful.
