Gatekeeping abuse is something I did not expect to see here today. Suffering is suffering, and we should aim to end it, not categorize in greater and lesser pains and categorically claim people with "lesser pains" are "pushing agendas" and should "stay the f*k out" or whatnot. As someone who has experienced both, I can provide my anecdata to say that words hurt. Maybe they're not the same type of pain, but they do. If you are a victim of verbal and mental abuse, do not let the above comment convince you that your suffering is somewhat lesser and thus not worthy of empathy.
