The poor oppressed “normal” people - *cries*
Telling you that you should shut the fuck up about feminism and how much you need it if you are a man is not bigotry. Feminism is for women.
Telling you that you should stop fetishizing gay people and that if they tell you to listen to them, as a straight person, instead of speaking over them is not bigotry.
Telling you that as a white person, you do not have any position of insight that PoC should be elevating over their own experiences with racism is not bigotry. Telling people to shove their white savior complexes somewhere else is not bigotry.
Telling cis people that they have no CLUE what trans* people go through on a daily basis for existing and to kindly shut up with their transphobic jokes is not bigotry.
And finally, having any form of privilege where one oppressed group tells you to shut up and let them share their experiences is something that you should let them do. Because as a human being the only way not to be a bigot is to recognize your privilege and the structure of society and what is wrong with it. The only way not to be a bigot when you have any sort of privilege is to listen to those without it and realize that as much as you want to help, you are not infallible.
