I feel a lot better than I did a year ago, thanks to Fornits.
So do I. Sure fornits does not directly affect programs, but the people on Fornits DO. In my case, for instance, I prefer not to publicly share the details of what I am doing to shut down a certain program because I don't want to tip them off. Without Fornits I'm not sure I would have been able to find the people I have, who have proved invaluable to my work (you know who you are).
Whoever claims Fornits does nothing... pah! Yeah, so stop bitching, get off your ass, and be one of the Fornits posters who actually does something about it. What the fuck else would you suggest people do?!?! Fornits is about archival, discussion, information, survivors stories, and networking.
In my case, it helps me come to terms with the past, figure out what was done to my head, undo that damage, talk about it, and feel better about myself. Sure i could just sit with my thumb up my ass like a lot of other people... I realize some people find it painful to talk about, but at least in my case, i feel better... especially that i'm actually doing something to help others. Convince a parent not to imprison a kid and see how you feel. Don't you with somebody would have done the same for you. In a sense.. I suppose I am setting myself free, and breaking down chains in my mind I never knew were there.
