"There's a school of thought... not a particularly good school and not at all a
good thought... that says that the people who are closest to an issue, the
people who are affected by and experience an issue, cannot be trusted to judge
it or report on it.

Black reporters are so often discouraged from reporting on racism on the
grounds that they will be biased. Trans people never seem to be the go-to for
reporting or opining on trans issues. The perspectives of disabled people
barely feature in articles that are ostensibly about us but are certainly not
written by us."
