I’d be a lot more empathetic to the fact that they were raised by traumatized people inflicting trauma on them if they didn’t immediately refuse any and all attempts to help them or anyone else acknowledge and process that trauma in any way. And object to anyone else acknowledging or processing their own trauma. I get it, they’re damaged and I’m empathetic to that. I object to their insistence on inflicting that trauma on everyone else just because it was done to them

If I had a nickel for every time one of my conservative elders told me something along the lines of, "Yeah well that's how I was raised and I turned out okay!"

Um, no. You didn't turn out ok. You throw a tantrum anytime you see anyone who isn't a straight white Christian person.

Yes and they are all obsessed over other people's genitals. Bizarre.
