Yet you still used the word “sassy” to describe her..... A word ONLY used when describing women bigger than a size six. Oy

Eh this comment is a lil unnecessary

Why don't you go read more andrea dworkin and rest in your unrealistic white second wave bubble?

LOL bye

It's not damaging to participate in rhetoric that says its A OK to rape sex workers? Knock it off with your oppression olympics. Oppressive ideologies work in tandem with one another- if we want a non violent future ALL oppressive systems must be addressed and eradicated. Educate yourself.

Still not seeing how Caitlyn receiving the award effects her award in any way shape or form. The award was relinquished because of transphobia- that's it. And frankly I find it troubling that you are so quick to defend his actions and contribute to negative commentary about Caitlyn. Many people make mistakes and…

Wow. Hijabs aren’t just like any head covering like “hoodies” (problematic in its own right) or sunglasses and comparing them to justify this act of clear discrimination is pretty outrageous. You are either a troll or someone completely oblivious to reality.

I am glad that you have found healing and a better life through your choices. I’m disappointed that you find it difficult to give me that same respect and to instead, make unbiased assumptions while also slyly shaming me for disclosing personal pain. Why do you find it necessary to do this? I shared a story and made…

I am deeply sorry you had to suffer such abuse at the hands of loved ones. I know you meant no harm in commenting but I generally think that strangers online should resist making accusations or pronouncements about someone they know very little about. It can be a dangerous thing to do- and for me I felt silenced and…

Please keep your uninformed and frankly offensive commentary to yourself. You don’t know me nor are you a mental health worker orDV specialist. If you were you would know not to say such baseless things. I wish for your growth and learning.

Thanks for reaching out and I am more than humbled to know my messy words offered you some peace. I'm sending you love and light. We got this!

Strength, power and love to you friend. Thx for reaching out.

For all of those brave and kind folks offering me their own truths and sorrows and histories: thank you. I hope we have all gotten something out of knowing we aren’t alone with a pain that often feels so isolating and shameful and stigmatized. I am blown away by and flooded with the gratitude expressed by stranger…

I’m here if you ever need to talk - let me know and I can find a way to get you my information. Your entire life is a blossom waiting to bloom (you are already a rose) and Who knows maybe talking could help. Again, sending love. So much.

I dunno how??

I am so sorry and I hope over the years or throughout the conversations happening here you have realized that you are not alone and that your mothers viciousness came from her own sickness and wounds and inability to love herself. That doesn’t make ANY of it right but it does mean it was never about you- whom I am…

Saying thank you doesn’t sound like enough- but thank you. I am sorry that you have experienced similar pain and cruelty (those words don't come close either) but I'm glad the internet has given us the space to not be so alone with our stories and scars. I'm sending you care, warmth, and hope for safety fulfillment…

Sending you love and strength. There really is something to be said about sharing painful stories with strangers- it is amazing how tonight I have felt so much less alone in this. You're stronger than you know. All my love -

Thank you. My birthday was Monday and I said that this would be the year I give alanon a try. I really appreciate your words. Xx

Thank you for sharing this with me and being so honest. You have put into words what took me a long time to realize that is is exactly this that was driving my moms actions and unfortunately how I behaved in the same way during my first real loving relationship (and over some ruined friendships). That self knowledge…
