Apropos of a major tech company issuing as a statement about not making people *FEEL* unsafe...
Trans women make transphobes FEEL unsafe in bathrooms.
Diverse neighborhoods make racists FEEL unsafe while in them.
"FEEL" is an internal state, that is very subjective.
While empathy is important, sometimes we feel unsafe for reasons that aren't actually about the person we think makes us feel unsafe, but is shit we need to deal with.
