If I weaponised my being domestically assaulted and/or abused by either of the two cis women I was in a relationship with years ago and took all that frustration and pain out on women indiscriminately, I’d be no better than Elliott goddamn Rodger.
Instead, I work tirelessly to push past that pain and see the humanity in the people who harmed me. I work tirelessly to heal from their sordid treatment of me because I steadfastly refuse to allow them to make the decision to harden my heart.
