I really hate the term unhoused…. It feels so infantilizing
#the only explanation I’ve seen is that ‘you can have a home without having a house’#which is true I suppose but like. idk. in my experience sleeping outside doesn’t feel like ‘home’#like you don’t have a place to go or put your things or claim as your own#it feels like desperate and lacking and disconnected from everyone because this simple piece of humanity#like being able to say ‘this is where I go to exist’ is not a luxury you have#so then for someone to be like ‘you’re not homeless! you have a home! you’re just unhoused!’ is insulting#like you truly don’t understand how devastating and alienating not having a place to call your home is#and like I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who’s actually been homeless or is homeless refer to it as being ‘unhoused’#it seems like a white liberal thing to avoid saying the dirty word ‘homeless’
