That figure is doing so much work; that figure allows racist speech to be articulated no only as free speech but as rebellious and minority speech that has to be defended in order to be articulated.

"An expression of desire for reconciliation might appear to be a friendly gesture. There is nothing friendly about this gesture. If a black woman does not return the desire for reconciliation, if she is not willing to smooth things other, moving on, getting along, getting on, she becomes mean; the one who has not only broken a connection but refused to repair it."

"The post box has provided a home for nesting birds. Intended functionality can mean who something is for, not just what something is for. This means that: something can be used by those for which it was not intended. That a post box can become a nest still tells us something about the nature of object; we learn about form when a change of function does not require a change of form. But that change does require a sign, “please do not use,” a sign is in use, to stop what would be usual: posting a letter through the box.

When it comes TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), there is a need of education for those individuals on gender and the fluidity of it.

The use of giving one a platform despite their views, but not listening or participating in their talk. A term used by some white problematic individuals to discuss how and why they are not "listened" to.

Marginalized bodies know that if they stay on the "path", society will damage them, but if they leave the "path", society says they are damaged

Fragility is not a celebration; it is a consequence and therefore a way of othering

Ahmed was born in Salford, England. She has a Pakistani father and English mother and emigrated to Australia with her family in the early 1970s. Key themes in her work, such as migration, orientation, difference, strangerness, and mixed identities, relate directly to some of these early experiences. She completed her first degree at Adelaide University and doctoral research at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory, Cardiff University. She now lives in the outskirts of Cambridge with her partner, Sarah Franklin who is an academic at the University of Cambridge.
