[ he hasn’t learned how to type out things like “lol” or even “haha,” honestly, but it’s almost there. he is amused, after all, rather than annoyed by the caustic response. ]
I couldn’t just walk away after I said I would return.
You answered it yourself, non? My pride is at stake. [ he’s in a better mood, whether this is good or bad. ] And I’ve had more time to think about what you said.
Please don’t sound so reluctant. It’s a compliment.
I simply realized that if more people thought like you in the place that I came from, things would have been very different for me. I don’t have to like the way you said things to acknowledge that.
Of course, I still feel defensive about the way you said it, but I can’t deny that I admire you saying it in the first place.
Speaking honestly, I’ve tried both the honey and the vinegar with the adults in my life. I’m not saying this for pity, and I don’t want your kindness even if you thought to extend it, but I was punished at my former school for what you’ve named as “bisexuality.” I suppose it’s still hard to wrap my mind around a world where there isn’t any danger in exploring.
Living as my authentic self is one thing, and something I can do easily, but it’s hard to drag others down with me. Your message triggered that fear in me.

I’m not trying to preach. It looks that way, doesn’t it? I just think we should all take responsibility for what we do to others. :)

[ …now he’s just being silly. ]
I’ll be sure to say hello if I see you out and about. And, if that goes well, I may have more questions for you in the future.
