Of course. I actually just talked to a friend about this yesterday. We really need to listen to other people more. It’s fun to quip or rage or scream online and often it’s well-deserved and justified, but what it won’t do is make things better. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through.

(I’m also largely straight-presenting, now that I’m married to a man, and there’s a lot of discrimination I get from the queer community itself. I feel you.)
