From One Survivor to Another

Can we stop using the sanitized, academic word, “problematic”

and start calling out racism, sexism, ableism, trans-hatred, etc for what they really are?

DANGEROUS

Threatening

Hurtful

Terrible

Because these attitudes are not a little “problem”. They often translate into real-world harm and even death for people.

“your ideas are problematic” no, they’re a threat to people
