- Aloha 7y agoI'm an overweight gay male probably on the autism spectrum with learning disabilities, I don't really like effectively being lectured on my privilege. You'll never change the conversation if you don't engage with it - its perfectly fine to step away from time to time, but unplugging and living in your own reality serves no one.
