    Okay but some people might not be comfortable speaking out about it themselves. I don’t think I, a white guy, “shouldn’t be allowed to complain” if I hear a coworker use the N word, or using some terms that are extremely derogatory towards women. You could argue that’s complaining on behalf of a community, even one I’m not part of.

    I agree that we should normalize being more open with when borders are crossed but some people aren’t comfortable with that (probably because people have been jerks about it before). But those people might still be hurt by that kind of language.

    There’s a lot of nuance on this whole topic.
