42 minutes: I'm already homophobic, I can't turn off this fear at any time, I'll just internalize the homophobia, then hate myself, hate myself to the core, I'm immersed in shame, hiding in the closet for ten years, after all You won't be seen in the closet, but shame is inevitable. If we let children grow up in shame, they can't develop the neural circuits of self-esteem and self-love. The outside world has planted the seeds for them to hate themselves. Children don't know how to tell right from wrong, so they hate themselves for being as natural as gravity.
I have to tell my story, after all, I paid a lot to learn what no one wants to learn, and this is more important than legalizing homosexuality. That is how we openly debate sensitive topics. Hating yourself is harmful immature and destructive behavior. We think fighting for right and wrong is more important than fighting for humane treatment for groups we don’t agree with. Ignorance will not disappear, after all, we will never know how to be full. I have to speak out about my accident, after all we all learn from the point of the story.
59 points: Do you know why I didn't go to the hospital for treatment? Because I think it's my fault that we instill shame in our children, and we give other people the right to hate them. It's not homophobia, it's real sexism.
There are two extremes of shame, one is like Hanna, and the other is the clown who turns the world upside down and thinks the world is wrong
