That's why I made sure to say "indulging" rather than "acknowledging".
It's not about ignoring it, but rather transcending the dialogue completely. "Colour-blindness" is also another aspect of white supremacy because it internalises whiteness as the natural order of things i.e. "everyone is the same" (read:white)
You can't ignore it, but you also shouldn't wallow in it.
All of these suck but the conversation therapy one is genuinely the scariest.
The whole "Troubled Teen" industry is already fucked, it doesn't need gender thrown onto the pile as well.
