Being able to accept the concept of “we all struggle, but some of us struggle more severely/require more acute attention and protection” is an insanely important thing for your activism. please. i beg you. “we all struggle the same way so we shouldn’t rank it!!!” is rarely ever meaningful or helpful. people WILL struggle more than you. people ARE more marginalised than you. and it’s okay to admit that and still demand your own support. both can and should coexist. you should not be screeching “oppression olympics” when someone is trying to bring light to the difference in degree of marginalisation. someone struggling more than you does not mean you are not struggling.
