9k:RD/ Can't contradict lived experience (50,61)

Main entry

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.
Lived 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.

black livingness [1] -> synonym, add to "lived experience"
gosh academics come up with the funniest words, gotta add this one
no, I don't hate their funny words. I feel like they illustrate how much the academics are failing to describe their own thesis statement and what it is claiming, but apart from that, I just like going around collecting them and framing them.
