This is a question I have trouble asking without feeling like I'm trying to co-opt your project (and therefore the narratives in it)...
...because I acknowledge being guilty of some of the white privilege stuff...
...and yet so many of these stories hit home when read through my filter as a deaf person...
...and I end up wondering whether the white privilege trumps the emotional resonance of these stories with these other parts of my identity as a deaf, gay, immigrant and means I should read your comment as a "Stay Out"?
(Not looking for answers. More questions, maybe, but not asking feels more like giving up than asking does.)
