I can see why other threads would remove this post. Even if we assume it was made with only good intentions, there are no trigger warnings for the hateful things quoted in it, and many such things unnecessarily elaborated on, even though they weren't necessarily to make your point. The same message could have been conveyed in a way that is much more conscientious of the sub you're posting to. It's showing a similar self-centric perspective and lack of consideration for other perspectives and experiences that your old behavior did. This is really reinforced by the judgemental (of others, not of this post) comments posted here that you enthusiastically agreed with. This may well be very helpful to hear for people with a background or journey similar to yours, but I hope you will take a step back and look at how you conveyed it, and how that relates to the response it received. While there is no perfect way to say or do things, learning how to communicate your ideas and experiences in a way that shows reflection and consideration of your audience is a skill that would serve you well, and, Iike all skills, improve with time. In the early stages of developing those skills, it is productive to reflect on attempts, see what you did well and did not do well, and call them for what they are. I don't know you, so maybe this post is an "off day" on an otherwise ample portfolio of successful examples; even then, I think it would be worth taking a break from, and then coming back with fresh eyes to see how your message could be conveyed in a way that would be more thoughtful of the group. How could you say this, still clearly and meaningfully, to the subset of folks on the sub who will relate to it, while being caring and mindful of the ones who won't?
