Capability or whatever is a moving relational field and it shifts depending on:
- context: you’re do awesome in one setting, completely lost in another
- culture: what counts changes from country to country, even house to house
- power: those who define what is usually benefit from how it’s defined
- language: if someone can’t express something in a way we understand, we dismiss it even if it actually makes sense or even helpful
we all gatekeep without realizing it
