   Back in 2014 I had a severe mental breakdown partially because of how badly I was being treated in my job at the time. I shutdown so hard that I literally started to believe I was bad, and because of the breakdown, I couldn't tell the difference

   There was a point during that year that I thought maybe I was a sociopath, and I lashed out at people, I said and did things I shouldn't have. And it took me a year to realize what had really happened, and I apologized, I made amends. Because being traumatized isn't an excuse to lash out, but I did and I regret it.

   I couldn't tell the difference between being abused and gaslit so much that I mentally died for a short period of time, and being a 'sociopath'. That's how bad it was.

   But if your only source on that were Kiwifarms then you'd probably think I'm just a stonecold psychopath rather than a severely abused trans woman with no resources or help to speak of.

   And that's what yall are doing to Laurelai

     And I don't know if I need to spell it out for people, or at least the bad faith actors who are defending an abusive 40 y/o man

     But I was sexually assaulted when I worked for Walmart, harassed, denied personal rights, and literally almost everyone I worked with treated me like a disgusting alien and even my own managers and HR refused to do anything about the plethora of shit that was being shoveled in my face, to the point where HR themselves removed my bathroom rights entirely

     And then having to sit here watching an upper middleclass cis dude with oodles of cash and his own personal troll instance target people like me, for dubious reasons and sources coming from Nazis, makes me feel like any one of us could be next simply for speaking against him

     And I refuse to be complicit
