When there is someone who is a vocal part of the group who vehemently hates my guts and no one makes any effort to even try to step in on my side of things, it makes it pretty clear that I'm not wanted as part of the group. Even the people from my own world don't speak to me, aside from the one time Jean spoke to me on this filter. I don't know Rogue. She doesn't know me. I shouldn't have to defend myself to a stranger, and it shouldn't be so damn hard to be a part of a group who, as you call them, are my "brethren". I would much rather be around people who make it clear that they like my company and who actually take the time to get to know me. None of you have even tried, even when I reached out to attempt to make friends. Being the only one making an effort gets old really fast.
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going for a walk with a friend who actually gives a damn about me.
