The only thing that has swung too far is LW feeling that she has to preface her letter about her parents denying and negating her identity as a low-stakes problem. I want to argue with her parents! WTH do they mean she should discover her sexuality “organically”? Like, at 16, a senior in high school, who has been considering her attractions/feelings for years—they think she, what, manufactured her sexuality artificially? Argh!
