Something I've been thinking about lately:
We all have a list of things we consider essential to our survival and basic dignity. For me, it's shelter, food, a correct name, a correct gender, and a capacity to do or attempt to do the work I consider important. Oh, and not being assaulted or tortured is a plus, etc.
But whoever you are and whatever your list, there are probably people you will become acquainted with who will have an opinion that you should not have these 'necessities.' I suppose this is an opportunity to ask if you can, in fact, tolerate fewer freedoms. Perhaps these people have something to add about not being entitled or greedy.
But in most cases you will not want to amend your list of needs, and so you will have to accept that many people do not care for you to exist in a way you find appropriate. I struggle to feel...good about this, I guess. To be open-minded and tolerant, since we must give ponies/people the freedom to share opinions. Maybe some tips would be nice.
