@david_megginson I'm not talking about defense at all. We ALL need to go on the offense! I'm not telling them they are on their own; I am explaining what I do, and how they can get others to do things that can help us WIN! You don't win a boxing match by only blocking, you have to throw punches, and with all the money and power on the other side, we ALL need to throw as many punches as hard and as fast as we can. What are YOU doing to help other than criticizing me?

What are YOU doing to help
I'm advocating for protecting everyone, rather than telling each person to protect themselves. Please trust me — the extra load of individual blocking is the last and worst resort when you belong to a vulnerable community, and are already worn down by constant barriers and micro-aggressions.
I believe you that your post was well-intentioned, but please try to understand that people won't perceive it the way you hope they will.
