I'm onna those. Ace as hell maybe, and wouldn't change even if I cared what strangers thought, but it's like a friend says a lot- it's nice to see it reiterated not because you think it's stopped being true, but so nobody ever forgets.
We're just. People. People who are often cool outside of that, who aren't full of bullshit and self-loathing and lies because of that, and people who know who we are. Society has fed you a pack of lies thinking that being unashamed and unafraid of your kinks is wrong, and engaging with them- and people who aren't afraid of their own- with respect and dignity will only make you a more well-adjusted person.
