Yes, yes, a million times yes! We all inhabit different axes. We are not a dichotomy—social conservatives like to think that we are pitching an us vs. them war of oppressor vs. oppressed, but people are far more colourful than that. I am a queer, neurodivergent person of colour, but I dare say I am more privileged than many straight white men out there. I come from a two-parent uprbringing, had access to education, am middle class, and live in a place with universal healthcare and a good social security net. I've never really had to worry about money, which is HUGE. I'm not rich, but I am privileged af.

I try to keep this in mind, but I'll never stop learning.
