RE: The only voice is "their" voice.
I knew I couldn't really voice any counter-opinion here without being punished.
That point has been now been proven(once again).
Anything you say can and will be used against you.
Even if it is the truth. Or perhaps, especially then. How dare I stand up for myself and others! How dare I!
A news story recently reported about an immigrant who had been temporarily approved for asylum and had been speaking to a state appointed psychologist, and had admitted to them that they had been forced to join a gang in their native country and had committed crimes, but when they tried to quit the gang, their life was threatened and so they fled to the USA (so they could live without being forced to commit crimes).
At their next court hearing, their appeal for asylum was placed on-hold "indefinitely" because the applicant was declared to be "a criminal gang-member" by the federal attorney.
The immigrant was subsequently sent to a detention center, and when they admitted to the facility therapist that they had felt angry at one of the other inmates, but had restrained themselves instead of punching them in the face, the therapist reported they had "violent tendencies" and had them placed in isolation.
And now they've labeled them "uncooperative" because they refuse to speak to anyone.
This is a good analogy of the logic that exists in our world.
Personal privacy should be sacrosanct.
A therapist/social-worker/psychologist/psychiatrist should have at least the same level of legal protections (to protect client privacy) as a lawyer or a doctor or a priest.
