Sometimes it’s about safety, sometimes it’s about acceptance, and over time it can become such a normal part of life that we don’t even realise we’re doing it.In this conversation we explore where self-editing shows up today - in workplaces, social settings, dating, social media and even within gay spaces themselves - and the mental load that comes with constantly managing how we’re perceived.If you’ve ever felt like you were performing a version of yourself instead of fully being yourself, this conversation will resonate.Leave a comment and let us know what part of the conversation resonated with you the most.
