Concept map
Survivability and inhabitable action
Names the gap between formal permission and livable use: whether someone can act, refuse, stay intact, and still belong after taking the option.
Paired reading path: Survivability. Open that path when you want the same terrain arranged as a short sequence instead of a map.
Start from this map without getting stuck in taxonomy
Take the paired path when you want sequence, the opening essay when you want one strong example, or the guide when you want the larger frame around the same pattern.
Survivability
For readers trying to explain why a formally available option still feels impossible, dangerous, or identity-breaking to use.

Why non-use is not consent
A permission that people cannot safely inhabit becomes evidence against itself unless you track the loop all the way through. Permission is not freedom. Non-use is not consent.
