I agree, sharing the experience has helped me get over it in so many ways. I'm able to talk about it now without using 'qualifiers' in my speech. And honestly? I credit my experience in fandom with that. Before I joined this group of amazing women from all walks of life, experience, and background; my world was limited to my own experiences. But sharing community with such a diverse group of people has broadened my worldview and given me vocabulary for things I couldn't admit to in life, much less talk about
