It's a very strange experience to have something this horrible written about a community you love by someone who doesn't seem to get why it's so awful. Someone who expects to continue to have a friendly dialogue despite what feels to me like a betrayal

It sucks to have someone earnestly listen to your opinions and suggestions, thank you, tell you that you helped them gain a better understanding, and then write something that ignores every word you said. Not even both-sides-ism, which I'd expected, but exclusively the other side

Maybe it's inappropriate to center my feelings like this. But I'm real sad. And I feel guilty, like maybe if I'd been more articulate or pushed harder for her to interview other people or....something, maybe she wouldn't have written it like this Like I'm guilty by association
