I think it may be the next step of acceptance. Years of living in shame, that some of us are still in, and hiding in some of the most uncomfortable clothing. To go somewhere, that is even hard to find on the internet, helps alleviate the loneliness, pain and otherness, that we all still feel to some extent and being able to share our feelings and actually get support for that is irreplaceable. To actually get compliments for sharing what they’re becoming proud of brings us to the next step.
