i feel like ‘passing privilege’ is a term that needs to be replaced by ‘conditional acceptance’ and i want to write about it but i just don’t have the spoons

My family calls it ‘probationary privilege’– like, you can be accepted into the privileged group as long as you ‘know your place’ and act according to their standards and gloss over your actual identity/experiences.

OOOhhhh, I like that phrase probationary privilege. Easy to remember and very telling.
