Sometimes it's not what is said....

I found tofty's post on metafandom, well, I had to explain some things to new people or, old people, or anyone who missed this years ago...

I'm glad (well, not glad) that this stupid debacle brought something good out of it. I'm glad you're finally able to speak up. Perhaps you can help other people with these problems? (Have you thought about volunteering at a rape crisis center, or is that too close to home?)

See, I don't know if I'd be any good since I'm not really...hm, I can't really understand the gamut of emotions because a) I was so young and b) the more serious wasn't my experience. But I can help people when I know them, when I see them in pain. It's why I've been so angry during this...because empathy and sympathy costs you nothing.

Hugs. Just hugs. Lots and lots of hugs.

Aw, thank you. I felt silly posting some of this, because, honestly it's nothing to do much with the other...but you know. I can't stay quiet for long.

Thank you. I felt silly in some parts...but as I told tofty, it's a multilayer problem.

[trialia]

Understandably so. Good for you for standing up for yourself and saying all this. *hugs again*

I don't do vulnerable well but. I mean, I could have discussed the harassment from school, but. But I accepted that a long time ago. Being a B cup by 5th grade and growing, you're used to unwanted sexual comments. Or the comments online that discuss my wet panties and/or fucking me without meeting me. The post would have been much longer then, though, and more muddled.

Thanks, honey. The dating part is something that's been brewing for awhile, but not really vocalizing.
