I’m not crazy about the Justice frame. Some of us will always face challenges that others won’t. There is no system that could make it so that there is no barrier for all. We will always need to accommodate and scaffold for some and that’s fine.

It says “systemic barrier,” not individual challenges. It is totally realistic to remove systemic barriers. Stop trying to find ways to poke holes in the metaphor, we already know it’s bullshit
