Keep dancing, dear friend. Thank you for writing this. I think of little side-glances. Subtle reminders of the obvious albeit unnecessary gulf between us and them. So much time wasted. Is making someone feel badly about being themselves the ultimate unkind act? Emotional genocide? Kinda?

At any rate, I’m proud to be your friend. Thank you for sharing from your heart.

Let’s pledge this month to help make the “others” feel comfortable in the skin they are born in.
