Peter,
Thanks for your voice of sanity. I absolutely agree with your statement
above. Yes, of course raising visibility can create targets. But I believe
it must be done. Our existence must be acknowledged before it can be
accepted, integrated, and forgotten. If we only find safety in pretending we
don't exist, we are deluding and denying ourselves.
