And I have been extremely open to you expressing your views here as a girl lover. In fact, I knew who you were before you even started posting here. Apparently, I also know people who have known you, and gained publicity in their disagreement with you.

You are a girl lover. Do you confess to this sinful reality?

I know it confuses some people, but I have never and will never condemn other girl lovers for speaking their honest mind. You are honest, and you are also passionate, about views that I nevertheless see as tainted by societal demands and misguided, though clearly having your heart in the right place.

Dissident also has a heart in the right place. He, too, is passionate about what he believes, and has clearly dedicated many years to speaking out on his beliefs, and even confronting larger voices and enduring undue automatic arrogance as he tries to spread his truth.

Both of you have achieved things which most of us cannot, will not, or just won't be bothered achieving. And from my view at least, like it or not, I think both of you take on a burden of representation in this community that neither of you should be viewing lightly.

You both have your fans and detractors. The thing you should both be sticking to is your truth, no matter where you find yourselves for speaking it. I'm a footnote in this world, but I find your perspectives to be incredibly valuable, and by necessary coincidence, the yins to the yangs.

Hope you both see it for what it is.
