For example:
“I don’t say that ‘I was “blind” to something’ because it ignores the
experiences of differently abled individuals.”
“I don’t ask ‘who wears the pants in your relationship?’ because it
expects homosexual couples to subscribe to heterosexual norms.”
“I don’t say ‘White washed’ because it is used to insult those who do
not conform to negative stereotypes of a community or culture.”
“I don’t call people ‘gingers’ because a unique hair colour does not
make one inferior.”
“I don’t say ‘you are so skinny’ because ‘skinny’ is not validating”
“We don’t say ‘Spirit Animal’ because it is a form of cultural
appropriation.”
