Thanks for this post! It has been reflecting on all the times that I think of something as a "me" problem ("I'm so sensitive", "I'm too easily activated") when I could alternatively see it as a microaggression (ableism or queermisia) that comes from someone else's internal burdens.

Yes! Let's turn it around, even if it's merely as an exercise, to see what the world could be like if we were all more aware of our ableism.

Thank you for sharing these deep and personal experiences - it awakens something in me. Dare I say the truth I've learned to hide? XO

Thank you for sharing this! I am hoping we can all do this together, and I feel your support across space and time. In spite of all the gatekeepers and the forces of darkness, we will move the culture forward each one of us in our own time.
