A valid angle, but not what my friend was getting at, I think

I was just reading something a friend wrote, talking about some significant backstory in zir life, and why zie doesn't usually talk about it. The reasons made sense, and I might well make the same choice in that situation—and I'm feeling honored that I'm one of the people zie has talked to about this, that it was worth it to zir to do that.
