Everybody really prioritizes Lived Experience nowadays in discourse and while I think it's very valuable I also think it should not be unquestionably taken as gospel truth.

Like, hearing the perspective of someone who has firsthand knowledge of a topic is good. In conversations about abuse, discrimination, etc, I think the input of people who have personally experienced the issue in question is important.

At the same time, a person's proximity to an issue can make it harder to think rationally. It's easy to get lost in your emotions and take stances that aren't actually very good, sometimes actively harmful. To put it simply, victims just aren't always right.

It's important to always listen to victims, take them seriously, and consider what they're saying. But "I have literally experienced ___" cannot be the a bludgeon with which to end every conversation. A given person's experience does not define the whole issue and how it should be understood and approached. Your experience doesn't inherently grant you authority on the issue.

A Conversation With God

You do not know where you are or how you got here. This does not distress you, nor does the entity that you first thought was in front of you but that you now realize you cannot locate. The thing that is nowhere but that you are convinced you can see is watching you, you think, from an impossible distance away. The breath on your face is warm and smells of wildflowers and rot. As quickly as you meet the eyes they are no longer eyes. You try to open yours but aren't sure if they're closed. The anatomy of the entity makes perfect sense, but you aren't sure how, and the way the body shifts is so seamless it is nearly imperceptible. You can identify bits and pieces, the antlers of a stag or the wings of a dove, but by the time you recognize its form it has already become something else. How foolish you are for thinking you understood. You have never felt terror like this before. You will never know peace like this again. You have a question. There is no answer. The entity screams, not audibly but in a voice that echoes infinitely, and it is grief and rage and ecstasy and sweet, delicate, mocking laughter. The silence is oppressive and absolute. Your ears are bleeding. The anger is reciprocated and you are shaking, fists tight, fingernails cutting into flesh. Without moving the entity reaches out, takes your hand, shatters twenty-seven bones. Gently, with the grace of a lover, it kisses your palm. You want to apologize, and the entity parrots your words before you speak. You are hated. You are loved. You are witness to a beautiful display of horror. You are god.
