its so hilarious and infuriating when people use the word "woke" as like a horrible disgraceful thing. like, its literally defined as "being aware of and attentive to social and racial injustice". yes, its definitely more used to describe policies that some might view as extreme. but is it really so bad to support policies trying to gain equal rights for EVERYONE? the quote in my bio relates to this and I want to restate it:
"I'll respect your opinion as long as your opinion doesnt disrespect anyone else's existence"
(this all stems from a pinterest comment thread of a video of a theatre choir all singing a song with leslie odom jr, and someone screenshotted a person who seemed to be masc presenting wearing a skirt, and someone who didn’t quite know what they were talking about said they were "woke as in being lost" and it pissed me off because they had no right to say that or any idea what they were saying)
