    Yeah, internalized shame is a hell of a thing, but - at least in my view - it is good to realize that it is forced upon us and not something that comes from within ourselves. It is hard to unlearn, but very liberating to do so, even if the possibilities to live the way we want is limited.

      Well said, you sound like you are at peace with who you are. I hope and wish for you to be able to express yourself the way you want.

        I am still struggling, but I also realize that I have come a long way in the last few years.

        I also wish you all the best and to be able to free yourself from the prejudices that others force on you.
