     @georgetakei
     Thank you for sharing this, it’s hard for me to quantify how much damage the “cure” idea has done to people like me over the years, and I’m glad that more people are contributing to the “empathy” side.

     We’re not “broken” & don’t need to be “fixed,” we’re just wired differently. 🙂
