Have you ever been to a safe space and tried to participate in discussion? I think the grandparent comment is spot on. Honest questions in good faith are honored, even when they come from ignorance. What&#x27;s <i>not</i> honored is people looking for a debate that involves &quot;calling out BS&quot;. It&#x27;s not the safe space&#x27;s responsibility to educate you on social issues. The whole point is to exclude people who deliberately lack context and understanding so that the discussion can be had on more complex topics.<p>Also, as a straight, white person myself, I understand that there are some discussions where my opinions are irrelevant and unwanted because I simply haven&#x27;t experienced what others have and am unable to understand and empathize as intimately. Excluding my opinion isn&#x27;t a slight against free thinking, it&#x27;s a shortcut because I have nothing to contribute.
