Call me a radical, but people should have a modicum of social responsibility towards each other.

> Some people are also more prone to sunburn than others, but we don't say the sun needs to be less bright.

Luckily, we don't need to, having invented sunscreen.

> You are in control of your own feelings.

No you're not. Feelings are sneaky that way.

The blog post doesn't refer to anyone as "minority", but as "marginalized".

Exactly, if you are more prone to sunburn, wear more sunscreen. Same as handling your own feelings.

And yes, feelings are completely in your head. Things happen in the world and your mind reacts a certain way. Nobody else knows how you will react nor do they have any control of your consciousness.

If you could "handle your feelings" as easily as putting on sunscreen, literally every psychotherapist would be out of work.

> And yes, feelings are completely in your head.

Anything you will ever perceive is "in your head". You don't control a lot of it. "Positive thinking" doesn't cure depression or schizophrenia.

> Nobody else knows how you will react nor do they have any control of your consciousness.

Human reactions are actually fairly predictable. Being rude, arrogant or condescending is generally off-putting. Some amount of control can be exerted as well, for instance, it will almost certainly be impossible for you to not briefly picture a TINY PINK ELEPHANT after having read this sentence.
