CALLING OUTWhat can I call out?

• Things that make you go hmmmm...

• Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia - any problem behaviour that uses stereotypes or marginalises people.

• The things that affect you personally - try not to speak for others; but,

• The things that you suspect (or have been told) would make someone else go hmmmm...

• i.e. guys; don’t give other guys a free pass on sexism just because there are no women present.

“There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” Audre Lorde

The test based on your responses to this checklist:

• Why can you do one of the things you ticked?

• Why can’t you do one of the things you put a cross by? (trigger warning – don’t answer with a point that carries emotional trauma for you.)

• Can you define at least one person almost like you but with a difference in personal terms (gender, race, sexual orientation, age, degree classification) whose answer would be different to yours. The closer that the person who is different from you is also similar to you the better – if using personal examples please do not reveal the identity of your friend.
