I guess most notably any unintentional fallout from my staunchly defending my Butch id which then may be percieved as exclusionary... It was in my "blind spot" and I was unaware that in my unabashed support of Butch, I may have set up a predispostion to exclusion. Who knew ?

My head is really spinning over this...
good night -

I am not going to speak for you of course, Boots, but for me, I believe this was borne out of out my white privilege.

Simply put: I didnt see it because I didnt have to see it.
