The current concept of "privilege" whatever its good original intention, has I think turned into a huge toxic mess.
I think it is something that you should bring up about yourself, ie "I have these privileges in life", but never something you should bring up about anyone else.

- hinkley 6y agoSaw a good sticker the other day: Giving rights to others is not taking rights away from you. It’s not pie.
- whoooooo123 6y agoNot really. Expanding rights to religious freedom means taking away certain right for others, see eg the gay wedding cake debacle. Expanding rights to "gender self-ID" treads on certain women's rights, see eg single-sex prisons and rape shelters, or the case of Jessica Yaniv in Canada. Expanding free speech rights means reducing people's right to not hear speech they find threatening or offensive. And those are just the obvious examples I can think of immediately. If no-one's rights were ever in conflict then politics would be much easier than it actually is.
- AstralStorm 6y agoRights are not in question, impact is. Religious freedom does not include bigotry as that's not beneficial to anyone. Prisons in USA being terrible garbage does not excuse lack of freedom to gender identity which would harm many more.
