A preventative statement in case anyone thinks I'm not being inclusive (I know there will be a few of you):
A paragraph I cut from the video: Hopping over to more male dominated threads for climbing shows that this is a concern primarily expressed by women and non-binary climbers. I don’t want to rule out the fact that men don’t experience this type of anxiety at the gym, because I know lots of men who struggle with social anxiety. It could be that it’s more socially unacceptable for men to post about such things which gives reporting bias. However, these fears of being perceived as “lesser” at the climbing gym do seem to link up heavily with the current understanding we have today about societal gender informing our comprehension of empathy and other emotion recognition processes, and as a woman I'd like to focus on my own communities in this essay.
I believe I'm allowed to talk about experiences that I feel impact myself and my own communities more, and talking about them with that context doesn't erase the fact that it happens elsewhere, it just highlights that it happens here to a larger extent. I hope everyone and anyone who gets something from this video can know that it’s for them, too.
