Understand the system so you can decide for yourself.

Systems aren't neutral. They're built with blind spots, and how one treats you isn't a verdict on who you are. This is a calm, plain-language way to see what's actually going on, so you're the one deciding what happens next. Four parts. No jargon. No gatekeeping.
