Unmasked leftists, are you “being shamed” when told to wear an n95 or feeling shame when realizing your actions & values don’t align? If you can’t tolerate discomfort, you can’t learn, grow, or resist systems of oppression. Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your potential to liberate.

The important thing is not to get it perfectly right all the time, but to use that discomfort as a signal and motivation to pursue growth and improvement and better liberatory practices. See also: being called out or called in re racism, transphobia, ableism, sexism, rape culture, etc.
