Thank you for writing this Maggie. We are constantly told to pick our battles. We are warned that items such as those that you describe are “such little things”.( hmmmm, more silencing techniques?) The thing is though, as you know, that there are SO many of these” little things”. And they add up to something colossal.

I am mentioning my Medium friend Linda Caroll to be certain she sees your article. Plus I wanted you two to meet( and maybe you have already)
