I looked at the privilege checklists. The checklists helped
identify concrete ways that helped me recognize and remember my advantages. As
a heterosexual, I have PDA without hesitation. My parents are still alive and
married. I don’t have physical disabilities. I have never been depressed. Affirming these statements helped me see my privilege
even though I’ve had occasions of feeling disadvantaged, and I can fall into
the trap of feeling like everyone around me has it easier.
