You have a great spoken and written voice, Patrick. So much truth in this. I can identify with the unexpected punishments, the anger, the sense of being defective and unacceptable, bullying and being bullied, and the coping mechanism of self-isolation.
Taking a big step back, this reminded me a lot of the legacy of the LGBT movement: coming out and vulnerably and unapologetically being yourself.
Thank you! Really glad to hear it resonated. Yeah, a coping mechanism of self isolation is a great way to describe what I'm getting at. I was wondering about the potential LGBT parallels when writing this, I appreciate you mentioning that coming up for you.
