Also, I want to note that getting to ignore history is a privilege. Many, many people do not have that luxury that they can ignore the progress we’ve made, because slipping back will negatively impact their lives. Given how much rolling back of the clock we’ve seen in recent years already, keeping these discussions on gender and race and sexuality front and center means reminding people that not too long ago, things were much worse for many of us and that we will not go back.
