I'm pretty sure that me being both embarrassed and nervous to actually share the fact that I realized that I have a kink in the first place after basically a year of questioning and also starting testosterone (hypnokink, specifically) is a result of anti-kink rhetoric, if that counts? I have told exactly two friends about it (one who I knew would be fine with me mentioning kinks because they write smut (but I did double check with them first before discussing some thoughts I was having about it), and one who mentioned that a previous partner of theirs was into CNC and seemed like they'd be accepting and chill about it even if it wasn't something they were into specifically) and also my therapist (who has been extremely accepting and understanding of that and me discussing how I had pedophilic intrusive thoughts in the past (along with the main themes of sexual, suicidal, and moral OCD intrusive thoughts I deal with)), but I feel like I can't tell anyone else in my life about being into hypnosis and brainwashing because I don't think people will be accepting. At best, they'll think it's weird and creepy.
