No “now I’m healed” moment. Even after writing this — even after reading drafts that I hoped would make it feel more neutral — I don’t feel more comfortable. If anything, I’m more aware of how much tension was there in the first place. And maybe that’s the generational piece. Younger queer people, especially those raised in onlin…
