Yet ANOTHER phenomenal article. I am so sorry you had to be subjected to such cruelty. I wish I could say that I was surprised, but of course unfortunately I understand this despicable behavior all too well. What I appreciate so much about your writing is your willingness to share personal examples in such vivid detail. Not only do you shed a light to those who refuse to acknowledge these atrocities, but you allow those of us who experience them to validate our journeys and find solidarity. THANK YOU so much.
