i've been noticing a really exhausting pattern lately with how people react when ex-muslims try to open up about leaving the faith. the second someone shares their religious trauma, they get immediately invalidated, silenced or told they're just "overreacting" //🧵
Religious trauma comes from a violent culture of lies, misogyny, corruption of power, etc
“Secular trauma” comes from dealing with mildly annoying people who don’t buy your bullshit online, I guess
