Wow, I didn’t expect how positive it would feel to have the responses I did on the last post. Thank you everyone. It was a good soothing feeling, probably because I feel seen and acknowledge. I know everyone is out there and pretty much already knew the sorts of things I got but to have evidence makes it more real. It is a good thing to have support for what I think I know.

The thing is I am really interested in the “nays.” There is no point to a filter without any “nays.” And in reading through the responses, I realized it would be very hard to be a dissenter with so many “yays.” I am setting this post with screened comments in hopes that those that don’t want to be dragged through my personal darkness can let me know in a way that feels safe for them.
