And while I was surprised that so many people just like me waste so much energy trying to hide themselves, I was scared when I discovered that my silence has life-or-death consequences and long-term social repercussions.
Selvom det kom bag på mig  at så mange præcis som mig spilder så meget energi på at gemme sig selv, så skræmte det mig  da jeg opdagede at min tavshed har livstidskonsekvenser  og sociale følgevirkninger på langt sigt.
