You have a right to express your feelings. I'm not offended, I trully see what you mean. Others see it from other perspective. Hard to make completely opposite views meet. I am on the middle ground about all this and I kind of get the both arguments about it.

I don't identify with the gender I was born with, I'm all over the place when it comes to sexuality (a-polysexual maybe if that makes sense?) I might find certain things harmless that obviously can hurt others. But I'm open to widen my perspective. I just hope we can still be bookfriends since I enjoy reading your opinnion and I like you and I respect you.

Hugs.

and book friends r 4evar

I've been feeling the exact same things. Like you, I'm most hurt by the fact that most of this bullshit comes from people who claim to be allies and then all but tell you "your feelings don't matter." That hurts A LOT.

Unlike you though, I'm personally not brave enough to get involved most of the time, especially when I'm feeling very emotionally vulnerable. Makes me feel like a coward though. As I'm sure you know, anxiety and depression suck, and not in the fun way.

So I don't know what to say that will make me sound like a massive pillock.

So here's a picture of one of my favourite television series of my youth (which I never watched again in fear of it being a total let-down), I was so happy when I watched it and I'm hoping that some of that happiness will find you now (also for everyone who needs it of course).

yes, and also, it's not that you're not brave,.

this stuff is abusive and painful to hear, with implications for your peace and your state of mind well beyond the time it takes you to read a book.

or a blurb.

and the thing is, people with privilege will sit there and demand you explain to them how they are hurting you, like it's your job to educate them, instead of their job to not be such an asshole and to also maybe take a second to think about the things you *have* said.

so no, it's not cowardice to avoid that shitstorm.

it's you, taking care of yourself, and I do it too.

the thread on my review and on others exhausts me.

why should I spend yet more energy reiterating the things I've said if they never listened to me in the first place?
