I don’t like when people describe themselves as “recovering” from bigotry. “Recovering from the alt-right pipeline”, “recovering misogynist”, “recovering racist”. As if those are sicknesses and diseases that you couldn’t help, and not some horrible form of bigotry that you in turn used to make other people feel less than human.
Half the time they’re not even “recovered” as they so claim, they’ve just realized that being an out-and-proud asshole squanders most opportunities for good jobs and relationships. Genuine de-programming takes years of intentional work and dedication; you don’t suddenly stop being a racist because you have a Black girlfriend, and you don’t suddenly stop being a Nazi because you lasered off the swastika tattoo.
What’s more is that these types of people usually don’t stop terrorizing their victims, they just start going about it in a different manner.
Ex. A man becomes upset and defensive when a woman no longer feels comfortable being around him after learning of his past; he’s changed, why can’t you give him a chance? In fact, YOU are a bad person because you won’t let me have access to you anymore!
Or, expecting a Black person to painstakingly walk you through Black trauma because you don’t want to do the work of doing research on your own time. And when that person tells you no, once again, defensive, combative, you are now the bad person because you won’t perform this labor for me.

Dang. OP disabled reblogs on the hestia self care post, I was hoping Start Toiling would enter the lexicon.
