Aaska, I admire your strength and courage to stay true to who you are and to share your experience. Your piece reminded me of a quote I have always remembered: “I’d rather be hated for who I truly am than loved for something I’m pretending to be.” — Kurt Cobain

You show a tremendous amount of compassion and character to not reciprocate to those who do not and fail to understand. They are clearly wrong and narrow-minded!

Life is funny we are all unique individuals and yet the same.
