Sooooooo....... not inviting your often brutal and oppressive abuser to the party SPECIFICALLY about Equality, and anti oppression is MORE of a step backwards than being abused and oppressed, and everyone around you letting it happen no matter how long you've been asking for help, just because it's not happening directly to them?? I wonder how many times have this author or people like him spoken up about the abuse faced by people of color, women and trans people by the Toronto police? Do you all just ignore the storied they share? Or do you just have your self righteous heads stuck up somewhere? The poc who talk about being singled out, disproportionately policed? The disproportionate number of poc who end up in Toronto Prison because of the targeted policing? The Trans people singled out, and often accused of being prostitutes when they are not? The focused public sex sting of gay men while ignoring public sex of straight people? Treatment of women who are reporting rape? Umm ok...
