I wish readers who don’t share my marginalisations were able to still relate. There have been plenty of times when I’ve shared work by marginalised writers in classes I teach only to have readers openly state they don’t see the point in having to read that type of story because they can’t relate. However, that is the point. Reading allows us to stretch. It grants us the opportunity to try out new perspectives. If mental flexibility was practiced through reading about challenging topics, I think we would experience less victimisation because the predators who may have learned to be predators through internalised norms could learn otherwise. Reading authentic survivor texts can change the world.
