Tone policing through accusations of ‘unsafe’

At EdSurge, school principal Damen Scott shares that a subordinate recently told him that his tone made them feel “psychologically unsafe.” While I appreciate Scott being able to thoughtfully consider and act upon criticism, I’d be worried about accusations such as this being misused as tone policing. One more social landmine to worry about as a neurodivergent individual. Is my tone socially palatable? Am I doing it right, or will someone accuse me of making them feel “unsafe”?
