    I can see your point, and for my part understand your grievance, however I think you are asking too much and expect to much. This is a stranger on the Internet talking to a stranger on the Internet exactly like you and I. You have absolutely no reason to care about my opinion about this, and likely won’t.

    I want you to know I understand, I really do and I would have the same type of reaction on other days. For some reason my wound isn’t so raw today. I hated seeing that statement it was painful, just like when someone in my family uses the r word at me. I don’t know if maybe the fight in me has just started to die on this one.

    I am autistic and homosexual with a list of mental health conditions that come from a lifetime of masking both of them plus trauma and som other shit, wanting dignity is exhausting, I don’t know your situation but I am guessing you fully understand the stress of looking over your should for fear of the consequences of someone noticing something you can’t turn off.

    I hope you don’t think I have been trying to argue, I am more just wanting someone to talk to, if I added to your frustrations I am sorry! Truly!

      Lol, that’s the best part. I’m not even mad. I’m just writing words for readers. I know that my expectations wouldn’t be met. Of course not. “Expecting” was the wrong word to use. It was more hope.

      I just saw a transgression (hopefully a micro one), and thought, “hey, I got time and feel like writing.” I just looped you in because I thought it might benefit both of our headspaces. Hope I was right.

        You were very right, if only because I needed the conversation, but honestly having such a slight difference of opinions and not letting it blow way out of proportion felt good too. I don’t get to really talk often.

        I gained a lot today, and out of anything I hope you got something, I take heart in knowing you were not realistically expecting a whole change from them. I hope a seed was planted and perhaps a heart was softened.

        Thanks for the engagement today.
