I would never want to be able to overlook this aspect of a person. Just like I wouldn’t want to be able to overlook Joanne just to enjoy a mid story about wizards. Or work for the carceral system just for a paycheck.

If I were cowering from these people, or reacting in excess caution to a non-existent threat, I would agree that therapy would be useful for my viewpoint. As a trans person, I can only imagine that you were experiencing one or the other, and that is why you suggested them for me, assuming that I was suffering similarly.

I very much appreciate the concern for my mental health. I am properly cautious, like you should be of venomous snakes.
