Yes, you are absolutely right. White people are more inclined to believe me over my husband. It's one reason I'm speaking up, even though it's infuriating that he could write the same article and not be trusted to accurately relay his own lived experiences. I also know there's a fine line between "speaking up" and "speaking for." I try hard to tow this line but hope I will be held accountable if I cross it. Thanks for reading and responding!
