psychological manipulation tactic used to abuse by instilling doubt in the victim's own thoughts, observations, feelings by denying, misdirecting, and lying to them; originated from the Gaslight play (1933) and film (1944), where a man changes the lights in the house, while denying her observations of the changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Impact
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Gaslighting reinfoces systems of power, as gaslighting abusers will tend to be in systematically dominant positions where they are intrinsically believed over their victim (e.g., white person over person of colour, man over woman, abled person over disabled person, parent over child, manager over worker, etc). Gaslighting is an abusive and oppressive behaviour and tactic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The abuser can become in control of the victim, who now no longer trusts their own perception. The victim can become codependent upon their abuser, and internalise.

of, relating to, or characterised by being any gender that does not fit into the male-female gender binary; an umbrella term.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, a non-binary person may have some gender between male and female, have multiple genders, no gender, a culturally-specific gender (e.g., two-spirit).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Note
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Non-binary people may or may not also identify as [transgender](/#transgender).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Although non-binary is commonly used as an umbrella term, just because someone identifies as a term under the umbrella, does not necessarily imply that they identify as non-binary as well. For example, someone may be agender, but not identify with the term "non-binary".

irrationally nervous person; hyperactive
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The origin of the word “Spaz” is a shortened version of “Spastic.” Spastic refers to an alteration in muscle tone affected by the medical condition spasticity, which is seen in spastic diplegia and many other forms of cerebral palsy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Impact
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By using ableist language, we are perpetuating violence against people who experience mental or psychological disabilities. Using this language perpetuates those systems and language of harm, regardless of our intent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Usage Tip
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Be more specific. Typically we can find an alternate definition by simply reflecting on what emotion we're really feeling.

|
the tendency for dominant white culture to respond to racism with defensive, dismissive, and angry responses; “a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves.” (Robin DiAngelo).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Impact
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
White fragility detracts from critical conversations about the systemic oppressors at play. The cost of white fragility is that it centres the feelings of white people while ignoring and invalidating the systemic harm conducted towards people of colour. White fragility also prevents white people from doing anti-racist work to unpack their socially internalised racism.

often used as a phrase to encompass “non-white, non-men,” seeking to provide solidarity for these two groups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What happens to women of colour? As a woman of colour, I am split between both women and people of colour.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Impact
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As such, it elicits feelings of erasure for women of colour. It also neglects [non-binary](/#non-binary) individuals.
