35. It's true DU doesn't always feel like a safe or considerate community.

But posts like that of the OP help educate us, open our eyes so that we are able to be more understanding and considerate, and hopefully provide a safe community.

I hadn't thought some of the "common knowledge" through like the OP has and now I see he/she is surely correct in that.

Thank you!
