      not really that much of an exception. most queer folk deal with bullying trauma, neuro spicyness, and are much more prone to poverty due to work discrimination and shunning by families and neighbors. All of that tends to snowball, and most of us end up with chronic inflamation and/or anxiety disorders. #thebodykeepsthescore pew trust has some useful stats.

      That’s my point though. None of the people who keep commenting these things seem to give any thought to the possibility that the person saying they’re scared might not be able to actively resist. It never seems to be “if you’re able, you could try A, B, C. If not, then X, Y, Z, might help you stay safe.” It always seems to come off as them saying “Oh, you’re scared? Fight back then lol.”
