Before reading further, I recommend listening to this exchange between a medical student and a panelist (at the 28:40 mark).
On October 28, 2018, Keiran Bhattacharya, a medical student at the University of Virginia Medical School attended a seminar on microaggressions. During the question and answer period, he asked a panelist whether one has to be a member of a marginalized group in order to be a victim of microaggression. The panelist responded. And then Bhattacharya said that the panelist contradicted herself based on what she had said earlier.
Afterwards, Bhattacharya and the panelist got into an exchange debating how one can be accused of microaggression. Basically, after the panelist answered, Bhattacharya challenged her again by following up with more questions. The audio indicates that the discussion was civil. This back and forth continued again until another panelist allowed a different student to speak.

When Kelly Gilkey was in high school, she sent an email to astronaut Pamela Melroy, asking if it might be possible for a person with a hearing loss like Gilkey to become a NASA astronaut.
“Amazingly, she responded and said the sky was the limit,” Gilkey recalled. “If NASA could fly astronauts who needed glasses to see clearly, who was to say what might be possible some day?”
Gilkey got her first chance to work for NASA as a participant in Entry Point!, the American Association for the Advancement of Science s internship program for undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities in science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. As an Entry Point! intern, she worked at NASA Glenn Research Center and NASA contractor Wyle Laboratories.
