I would agree with part of this. Part of this I do. But you sound like you’re justifying BIPOC, trans & disabled people not being taken more seriously, or am I wrong?

I don't mean to be saying that and hope we're just crossing wires. Am trying to say that academics often act like what we do deserves an exalted status that other workers don't, so we miscontrue our own political power and also piss off other people who we might otherwise organize with. 1/2

2/ The most privileged among us often recreate the exact same exclusionary problem with marginalized siblings, which I take it is what you're hearing me doing? I hope you're reacting to a more generalized concern, but I'm listening if I'm wrong about that. What made you hear me like that?

To answer your question, it was the wording that threw me off. But once you clarified it it makes sense.

OK, good. And I appreciate your calling it. Nobody should have to do that, but I'm grateful to people who do.
