Still have this nagging fear that at any moment someone is going to publicly berate me over one of my toots that they have entirely misunderstood and brand me a disinformation agent/hater/victim blamer/gender traitor/ etc. Seems inevitable that such things will happen on social media.

@Idoubtit I understand. Anytime we place our thoughts into a public forum, we're exposing ourselves to an unknown array of experiences and points of view.

It's unfortunate when an immediate response is negative when it could be informative, but sometimes the wounds people have are so serious that is going to be their first response.

I hope no one has to be a target. Maybe one day.
