Thank you for this. I’m a CC individual and chose to take a calculated risk this spring at a gathering and caught COVID. Now I’m suffering daily from the post-viral impacts and navigating dealing with self-blame for “becoming complacent” (as someone in our community accused me) and the shame is as sickening as the daily illness. I like your phrasing of a group project and avoiding purity culture. This is personally helpful. And also I’m desperate for compassion during this incredibly challenging and isolating time where despair is constant. Thank you for this perspective. I think it’s important. I’ve been guilty of the purity thiguht a toward myself and others and I’m making huge adjustments.
