Random conversation just reminded me of an interaction I saw on Facebook recently. Some right-wing antivax person was saying typical things, like vaccines cause autism and long-term disability, and liberals in government are forcing vaccines to control populations. A couple of people pushed back, saying these things weren't true or asking for sources. The OP fired back with accusations that people were denying their lived experience and trying to erase their identity. Protip: Your lived experience is limited to what you have experienced. Your ideology, your thoughts about other people, your attributions of others' motivations, and your theories about how the world works are out there in the public sphere to be debated and criticized. Tossing a "lived experience" into your thoughts about other people or the world doesn't make those thoughts true or immune from scrutiny.
