Thank you for your comment Stephen!

Here I will draw a huge distinction between "recognizing a group of people is oppressed/stigmatized" and "saying you need to like/have sympathy for/welcome into your life any member of that group no matter their conduct." We can draw boundaries with people in our lives who have abused us without demonizing a whole group of people with personality disorders, or at least without advocating for any kind of carceral/legal attack on their rights. As an abuse survivor I have people I would never show forgiveness for in my personal life; I also recognize many people I love, including myself, have NPD traits. This essay of mine tries to thread that needle: https://humanparts.medium.com/sympathy-for-narcissists-14b43091400f
