The trauma continues...

It's not like people magically stopped telling me to conform. I literally cannot escape. At the very least, I think those who pressured me to be Tina need to apologise. It's very hard to be part of a community that called me a creep, a loser, a fetishist, implied that I was sexually attracted to children, didn't believe me when I told them that I'd been assaulted (several times), and (still) isn't respecting my IP rights. That's not being communal: that's ostracising somebody for being different. I'd love to see how you'd cope if I did the same thing to you. - Though people are coming around, there's a distinct layer of scepticism when I tell them that the SIS was willing to use AI to generate porn, or that they may have also supported VUW in their plans to force my return. There's proof enough, so it's all about people simply admitting fault. I'm anti-prisons: I don't want you in jail, but I want my moment of truth. - That's what Wellington needs to do: a reverse hate hui where I receive apologies. My whakamā and mamae won't end otherwise.
