Thank you for sharing your experiences here. I know it isn’t easy to talk about. I would encourage people in the comments to reflect on how they approach people who are opening up about difficult experiences like this. We should want people to feel comfortable voicing these concerns, not argue when the person explicitly said this is not an argument, just my own experience. Invalidating someone is a bad look for the community and will make it less likely for others to voice similar concerns which could lead to serious issues.
