I can't answer much better than apis, but I can attest to the issues it causes. I'm in my 30s and have never fully recovered from being denied education on that. Still trying to break away from the shame and icky feelings. Ignorance causes so much more damage than just frakin telling us. ::: spoiler spoiler

Wow thank you! :D I often enough feel silly for the amount of hobby time I've put in without any real thought into making anything of it. But this brought a lot of insight. Thanks so much for your time!

I really unloaded so I apprciate your time. I'm still real new to Beehaw too, so on to your links and finding if there's a good way to link this over to !writing, ha.

Thank you. It's still a hobby under others and job, so I'll need to take more care if I want to be taken seriously.
