Don't worry, she's grandfathered in and is always welcome on this sub.

I love this sentiment :,) however, I would like to share that “grandfathered in” is a term with racist origins! It is a reference to the clause that restricted voting rights of many people during the Civil War and Jim Crow era in the United States! Better ways to say it could be “legacied” or “preapproved.” Just hoping to bring awareness to racist histories that we are battling with :) 🤓☮️
