What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.
Not being open about it doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with.
Anything untrue isn't there to be lived.
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.
—Eugene Gendlin
Framing effects matter. “There are 100-600 male rapists in EA” comes across much differently than “men in EA may be rapists at the same rate as men in the population at large”.
