Also, I belatedly notice that @LydiaCatterall liked the post. What a coincidence!

Thanks. Very much agree. To summarise playfully*, we must all be careful about using 'we', especially the difference between what Lydia calls the 'earnt we' (eg of her life partnership) and the 'unearnt we', where we are speaking on behalf of others without the necessary connection and consent.

*or hoped-for playfulness.
