You don't know that. You haven't experienced lifelong societal stigmatization. You haven't been the subject of the same demeaning 'jokes' decade after decade. You don't have to fight for your equal standing with everyone around you every day because of the way you look or the way you act. You're not part of a minority systematically under-represented, having your opinions shouted down by anyone with a cheap and belittling sense of humour.
Well, that's a miss, cause I actually was the subject of others' jokes for a long while (like... hmm... about 5-6 years in school - ok, it's not a lifelong, but definitetly some) and I realised that I cared way too much about that. When I recall that period of my life I can't believe how much of an idiot I was
