I don’t want to be accommodated

I do not

want to be

part of a space

where I have to be

accommodated.

I want to be

part of a space

where who I am

isn’t automatically

associated with less value —

there isn’t anything

to be accommodated.

What are you defining

as your default?

as your normal?

as your majority?
