Magnus, just as respectfully,
because you're a good guy.
Thanks! Back at you.
The truth lies inbetween. I can tell. When different people are telling me different or opposite heartfelt things that come out of their personal lives, both have to be right.
All I had to do was not to like sports in school, and that led to building contempt and hounding and harrassment, which turned into a tidal wave of anti-gay epithets by high school. I was never gay, and please don't think I'm saying that it would have been more justified if it were done to someone who was. My point is that it doesn't take much to trigger this sort of thing, and some very bad effects from this will be with me to some extent for my whole life. So, people get damaged. A sense of inferiority can become so ingrained that it's a wound that never completely heals. You get older, you know your worth eventually, but that dark area is always lurking someplace.
I'm vaguely aware of the background you're giving me. Millions of people are unhappy to be who they are, or what they think they are because of conditioning from others. I think your position and Joeytrom's need to be amalgamated.
