      It's funny how someone sees in you precisely what they want to see in you. To wit, I: - earned a degree in computational math from one of the top schools in the nation - did my fellowship at Princeton studying nuclear fusion - ran NIH-funded clinical trials

      - am an internationally-recognized speaker in the tech industry - was one of the "keynote series" speakers at one of the biggest open internet festivals in the world last year - have had Nobel Laureates seek me out for my work

      And this is all aside from my activism work, which as you may have noticed, has had an impact. Yet those who want to see me suffer insist I am nothing more than a victim.

      It is true that I am a victim: I am a victim of horrific violence inflicted upon me and my community for reasons no other than we dare to exist in a way beyond their willingness or ability to understand.

      When someone reduces you to being nothing more than a victim, it is usually because they are the victimizer.

      The notion that a victim needs the victimizer to find meaning in their life is a desperate plea for relevance on behalf of the victimizer, not the victim. It is a pervasive myth that victims choose that role because they seek attention. MeToo only amplified that reality.

      My life would be measurably better off without the deleterious impact of those who harmed me. Nothing about my success was enabled by their harms; in fact those harms have come at significant cost.

      This myth is perpetuated by victimizers who they themselves would have nearly nothing if not for making others into victims. It is projection. Maybe out of envy? Admiration? Entitlement? I don't know.

      I have long avoided the word "victim" because of this. But I think I'm going to reclaim that word. I don't like "survivor." I haven't survived any of it yet. At any rate, this thread has been about the recent #MeToo discourse in case that's not been clear.

          I just want to let you know that what I see in you is someone who is both a scientist and an activist — just as my dad was. Those two worlds are often too far apart, and even today it takes some real bravery to pursue a scientific career while being outspoken.

          “Injured Party” makes it more noun-ish. And it’s what the legal system uses.

          Nobody sees you as weak, they are trying to make you feel weak because that's the only way they know how to feel strong.
