If you simply must know
Yes I was bullied in school and had a really really shitty childhood due to factors outside my control. But you know what? It helped "build character" as your types would call it. And I quite like myself the way I am. And so does my family, friends, and girlfriend. What you care about me is your opinion, and you're entitled to it. That's really all this boils down to. What you're trying to do is shape me in a way YOU see fit. You're saying "your body, my choice." If I were in a situation where I was groomed into this sort of thing and surrounded by people who either only like me for that or make it their entire personality, then yeah, there would definitely be cause for concern. But no. I came to this conclusion on my own after a decade of trying to figure out why I didn't feel like myself and another decade of thinking about if this was really the right decision. It comes down to the fact that I'm not forcing anyone else to view me a certain way, and I genuinely don't care how you refer to me so long as it's not an in intentionally derogatory way. I'm doing what makes ME happy, and if you have a problem with it, then either self reflect or move along.
