This. It troubles me when mainstream movements don't consider the implications of their rhetoric and the damage they're causing. Many 'advocates' seem to think it's okay to leave a mess on the carpet since someone else will have to clean it up anyhow, but that's really not a good way to think. If your activism requires marginalising people, it's not really activism.
