I am sorry to hear what you have been going through. I bought your book at a local bookstore and am slowly reading it and enjoying it. I thanks you for your honesty, your vulnerability and your care.

I am one of your faithful readers from the first time I encountered your posts. In my own humble way - as a originally Chilean leftist feminist activist - who voted for Allende and worked for his government- I have to say I fundamentally agree with you. Having come to Canada as a refugee I joined the Green movement as well as some anarchs-syndicalist groups in Montreal. Having moved to Vancouver I continued to join movements like that until 2019- 20.

The"left" - I hesitate to call them thus, slowly but completely lost their way - from social justice and care for minorities and the environment to "Whatever Fad/Trend" offers a CAUSE that can allow them to vent their anger against other who disagree.

IT is really sad, disappointing and, I think, quite hopeless to engage in dialogue with any kind of fanatic or fundamentalist. And I agree, that is what they are.

I leave you with my best wishes and my gratitude for what you do.
