Even though I am aware that I am clearly part of the historical majority in physics - White and male - I have come to realize lately that this shouldn’t (self-)trivialize my own struggle with #imposterism. My journey is my own, and for specific reasons tied to my own history.

It’s also fueled by a feature of any majority in any situation … given time, a majority tends to “eat its own”. Despite success, historically majorities often destroy from within. It took me a long time to recognize this.
