stiles: I’m having husband problems with you

when you're the only member of a minority in a social space, being asked questions about issues relating to your minority is often a straight-up microaggression. asking the trans person in the room about bathroom laws or the black person in your forum about inner city violence isn't a way to be inclusive - it's legitimately stressful for the person in question. no matter how you frame it ("wanting to learn more" is very common,) all you're doing is making the person, at best, feel like they're some sort of walking primer on minority issues. at worst, you make the person being questioned acutely aware that they are outnumbered by people who don't fully consider the humanity of the person being questioned. you end up feeling like you must walk on eggshells in your answer, wanting to leave a positive impression of your entire demographic on whoever asked the question. you have to educate carefully without threatening the sensibilities of the majority.
