There are a lot of things that peo­ple may be miss­ing in the world, because the char­ac­ter­is­tics we have affect our view of it. How oth­er peo­ple (whether peers, fam­i­ly, or those in posi­tions of author­i­ty) treat you is not the same as how some­one of a dif­fer­ent gen­der, sex­u­al­i­ty, race, reli­gion, and so on is treated.

But equal­ly, we don’t see the joy and silli­ness and fun shared by peo­ple who are part of a mar­gin­al­ized com­mu­ni­ty, or we miss out on the ways that the truth, seen from below, can show how absolute­ly ridicu­lous the behav­iour and jus­ti­fi­ca­tions of those in pow­er are.
