This is such a wonderful article. I especially found the Bible mistranslation very interesting. I have a friend who has a trans child and is currently relocating from Texas to Arizona to ensure that they get the medical and emotional support they need. It's difficult to see things like this happening in our country.
I believe that one of the great challenges of our time is to call ourselves out on our own shortcomings, and not make excuses and/or attack (a facet of bigotry). I love that you owned your bias and instead of defending it you dug deeper and defined it as your privilege and culture bias. We see you actively doing better by it. You've shown that your bias's are not fixed and that your paradigm is evolving, with purpose. You clarify a tool here, the "own your own shit" tool.
Culturally we seem to fear this tool. I hope that the more we see people like you wield it the more it will empower all of us.
And yes, please show me where I order your "ally" shirt, size large please.
