“What do you have to hide?“
Everything.
Full stop. Period.
Every. Thing.
What I had for breakfast is my choice to put out in the world.
Who I love, who my friends are, what we talk about, the books I read, the websites I visit, my favourite animal, my choice of shoelaces.
It. Does. Not. Matter. How. “Big”. Or “Small”.
Every. Thing.
It’s all up to me to decide who I want to share anything with.
@totalclaireity Exactly.
“Oh but so many of those things are harmless!” No.
There's any number of factors that could make someone the target of a person wishing to do harm to them. Race, gender, nationality, sexuality, political views… those are just the obvious ones. Even things like the sports team you support, or whether or not you're vegan, are controversial to some.
Yeah, I've got things to hide: things that could make me the target of hate crime, and that could be anything and everything.
And at the end of the day, regardless of all that, ultimately it’s none of your business unless I choose to share it.
But I feel like people who don’t understand that are the same sorts that get upset about when you put any kind of boundary in place and ask them to respect that…
