As said by one of those fabulous ladies that turned up to the meet in Glasgow on Sunday.
Well actually pet, no, you most certainly aren't the normal, average type, you and the other participants, the women that wandered along alone, or in groups just to listen, Jean from Aberdeen, none of you are the normal average.
You're all far beyond that! You ARE stunning and brave. You ARE brave for turning up, despite knowing there'd be a pack of mentalists there, trying to intimidate and frighten you, maybe even physically attack you if given opportunity. Especially since we were all under the impression that over 1000 furries would also be turning up to join the protest. Did anyone find out where they all went yet btw? They can't all have fitted into Forbidden Planet at the same time, surely? lol
You ARE brave, because time and time again, we hear the stories of women whose trauma/s i'm sure they'd rather forget, as they relive the most painful events in their lives to act as warnings to other women and families. The hurt that those women feel telling their stories is palpable, even for those of us watching at home. You ARE brave!!!
You ARE brave because even though you've faced the intimidation of the mentalists, suffered the trauma of reliving torment, you then have to risk losing your jobs for doing nothing more than telling the truth! What a very sad indictment of our times! Very sad indeed!
Normal and average? No you most definitely are not! You are very special and very brave and you should be very proud of yourselves!
Thank you all for your bravery, you rock!
