There was a lot to be said for not being the only person who'd been through the whole spiel at the school, dealt with the double standards and just in general felt like it was all so very contrived. Sure, John understood the idea behind it all; training and protection and understanding, blah blah blah. But there was only so much of that they could control.
Controlling your emotions to control your powers wasn't control, it was suppression. Hiding away from the world wasn't acceptance, it was shielding. Isolating them all from the real world and what those people would there thought of them wasn't going to help anyone, not in the long run. Of course when John brought any of this up with anyone he was just being problematic.
The Kitty at his school probably would've scoffed at him too, told him he was being ridiculous, that he needed to stop making problems. This Kitty seemed to have entirely different experiences, enough that she understood where his ideas came from. "So Summers still has the stick up his ass in your world?" Honestly, John couldn't imagine a world where Summers didn't have a stick up his ass.
