I'm very smart. I'm great at pulling together data to synthesize an argument. I'm extremely articulate. I have experience doing advocacy.

I am not (personally*) intimidated by those who will be in the room with me/to whom I will be advocating for myself. *professionally, yes

I also give a great professional talk, so I'm comfortable making words when I'm very uncomfortable (because I'm also very introverted)

I find that I open my mouth and out falls a stone. I can barely reason--my mind is agile only when leaping away from the topic.

I hypothesize that it is bc of the deeply rooted skepticism I know exists for majoritarians about the experiences of the rest of us.

There's almost nothing more demoralizing than knowing that people won't believe you. And the more upset you get, the less they'll believe.
