The world today showcases a shift towards identity politics over humanity. From Communists to people of colour, women, the undefined patriarchy, the West, Chinese, Russians, there are always changing pieces on the chessboard. The real challenge lies in discerning if we're merely swapping labels or genuinely progressing towards a more humane, inclusive world. In numerous societies, many advocate for inclusion at the expense of others. Embracing everyone as a human being first should be the only label necessary. I embody various identities - a mother, friend, writer, Aspie, someone with a debilitating heart condition, a dog mom, and an independent advocate. I handle cases where I can truly make a difference, with no external funding, and ensure a clear separation from services provided. Within our industry, countless individuals, both registered and unregistered providers, have selflessly given back. From offering their time and profits to going above and beyond, these acts of kindness are not uncommon. It's time to acknowledge the journey we've all been on, recognising that everyone is a human being first. Inclusion should encompass everyone as they are, valuing participants, providers and support staff alike. Let's amplify the voices of those whose voices have been silenced, ensuring that inclusion is truly universal.
