@bee it actually was beneficial. I learned the science of gender and sex differences, was able to engage with people who I would never have met or spoken to in my real day to day life. @DelaneyKing was a huge part of this.
Without the education of birdsite, I might never have left my abusive husband. I might never have explored my own repressed gender and sexuality. I would definitely not have met my partner who has brought me previously unimagined joy.
