"One of the biggest problems we have in our culture is the assumption that if someone else makes choices we would not make, then there must be something wrong with that person. We are terrible at recognizing our own lack of insight into or context for other people's lives." -- Lilah Sturges, Trans "Cool Mom" ([twitter.com profile] LilahSturges), 2021-07-28

"Some people misconstrue empathy to be 'what would I do in that person's shoes' as opposed to the more constructive 'how can I respect or understand what that person does.' (As usual, your tweets distill a sense of real empathy, which is all about context.)" -- The Comic Book Dad ([twitter.com profile] dan_rucker), replying to Lilaj Sturges
