Krystal Saphira:
I had realized long ago that there is no such place as a "safe place". Some places are just safer than others and we all do our best to keep our own selves safe.
I have known Ditzy for many years. I have never felt unsafe around her. Understanding can go in more than one direction. Thank you.
Ditzy isn't really the focus here. No one said they felt safe or unsafe around her.
What happened was *I* said that as a WOC, a very specific group of white people were problematic. Ditzy misunderstood what I said and thought I was attacking white people as a whole and got upset.
She further misunderstood the point of the thread (what would a hypothetical safe space look like) and said all voices should be heard. She also mentioned I should just block people that I find threatening.
Lora Dayton then clarified to Ditzy that I wasn't attacking white people as a whole and what the purpose of this thread is. And the matter was dropped.
That's all this was. A case of misunderstanding and getting upset due to the misunderstanding. No one thought that Ditzy was unsafe to be around.
