We are in the paradigm shift phase of mainstream acceptance. When the earthquake is over, I hope to be taken for granted--to disappear into the noise. I want to be boring! But right now, I think it would be churlish of me to brush off smiles and supportive comments from regular folks, after so many years of hating myself, and worse. Of course, there will always be a core group of people who wish us in prison or dead, and they are our real problem, not the faddists.
