[O]ppressive behaviors aren't the same as phobias. Phobias are real mental illnesses, and conflating phobias with bigoted beliefs and behaviors invites further stigma and relies on ableist language.
Too often, we think of bias as a conscious choice, a worldview that we must first consciously opt into in order to perpetuate. If we haven't decided to be biased, we must not be. We cannot be. But the truth is the opposite: we're products of a profoundly biased society: one that perpetuates racism, misogyny, classism, ableism, anti-Blackness, anti-fatness, and more. So even without consciously choosing those biases, we reproduce them. The conscious choice, then, is undoing that bias.
I couldn’t tell this was written by a white person, kudos to that.
