Labels can apply to anyone but they don’t show you what the person is like for being themselves, who is the person beyond those labels

    Similar to the labels quote, the phrase “Nothing about us, without us” has been popular in marginalised groups.

      I had never heard of this phrase before but I like it because it summarises the issue of people of marginalised groups not being involved in decision making and I hate that issue because only the people of those marginalised groups know what they need best but they aren’t given an opportunity to be involved
