I stand firm by this: You cannot use self-identification to move into or out of systematic, culturally, and socially produced oppression.
The roots in these oppressions stem from both external and self inflicted trauma, which cannot be healed by working through the self and its own interpretation of identity through that healing alone. It is enforced by things out of one’s immediate control and something that they have little to no direct influence over.
Understanding this fight is the first step to seeing a world with the potential for all to both share in the triumphs and support one another through the hardships of being a part of the human race. No one asked to be a human being.
