      Lived Experience is indisputable

      / You can't contradict lived experience -> false on a technicality because it can and will be disputed constantly. this is the problem. the problem is that Lived Experience is already getting disputed, which is part of what made people think up the concept in the first place, but if you propose Lived Experience to solve that problem, it will perpetually be unable to prove itself using itself because the problem is that people can't be forced to consider it proof.
5061. Q5061/Q50,61Lived Experience is indisputable / You can't contradict reality (sense) -> I think this is what people are really trying to say. if you were saying "you can't contradict lived experience" about an earthquake, it would be about observations of reality. and I think that whenever "lived experience" is used about social phenomena, it's being used almost exactly the same way. one Black person makes observations that either are or become observations about other Black people; a transgender person makes observations that either are or become observations about transgender people.
