From what I've observed, people (especially privileged people) often cannot tell the difference between a social justice activist and someone just talking about what certain experiences mean for their lives. More than a few people would assume that, because I talk and think a lot about Blackness, queerness, and womanhood that I see myself as or set out to be a social justice activist. I don't. So when people come at me like my life is meant to educate people or improve them, I do take it as an insult.
