I love my social networking echo-chamber. Half of the "real world" tries to feed me bullshit about what I do or don't deserve as a brown, bisexual, poor, biracial , chubby woman, while much of the other half acts like that shit's at least up for debate in order to appear "able to have a rational conversation." You're goddamn right I created a virtual room in which people support me. The evils of the echo-chamber only need to be worried about if you already have fair representation outside of your chamber.

Much in the same way that many people are not allergic to milk, but have lactose-intolerance, and we don't smugly ask "do you have a milk allergy" if they order substitutions, and then dismiss them as stupidly following a trend if they don't SPECIFICALLY have a milk allergy. • When people notice they have digestive issues common of lactose-intolerance, we don't judge them for self-diagnosing a lactose issue, but if someone experiences a similar situation with wheat, we stand ready to mock them, behind their back or otherwise.
