I'm making this post public so that you can all see it. I'm glad that I'm able to see some people responding to this, too. I'm also glad to see that everyone seems wary and no one is jumping right on board. There are lots of concerns. That's good.
I feel like you guys are a family, and I'm this guy over here. But I wanted to tell you all that what you're going through isn't localised to some mutant problems.
In my dreams, I'm a big angry turtle man. People didn't like how we interacted with society. We were dangerous, and breeding too quickly. They found a way to 'fix' that by making it so only 1 in something like 1000 baby turtles actually survived.
You know what it's like to be hunted and hated and fight for your survival. Well, you aren't alone. The turtle men got the short end of the stick, too. And I aught to know, because over there, I'm like their King or something.
You all want to do something to help, but you're scared. You don't know who to trust, you don't want that other life. Hell. Do you think I want to be an angry neutered turtle man?
In case you're wondering, the answer to that is no. I do not want to be an angry neutered turtle man.
I have a daughter who, in her previous incarnation, was such a danger to herself and others from her powers that she nearly caused the apocalypse. She lives and walks among you, safely, a testament to how this world does not have to end up like that other one.
