Change, Policy and Research
• “Check Your Privilege” isn’t meant to be a personal attack; think why someone might have said it rather than responding to it.
• When speaking about experiences, try not to universalise them and recognise additional risk - Street Lights being turned off (for example) might be threatening and serious for female students, but it also disproportionately affects Trans and LGB students, and students of colour who might be reacted against by people who have a stereotypical (and racist) attitude that more crime is committed by people of colour - which leads (for one example) to cases like Trayvon Martin in Florida.
• Don’t ever tell another human being that their own lived reality ‘couldn’t have happened’ or that they ‘should get over it’ or ‘it’s not important’ - no one gets to determine those things for another human being.
