>Does this count as "liberal guilt", that as grateful as I am for the reminders that what happens to me counts, I still can't help thinking of the folks who get killed for being themselves, when I read (and am warmed by) each new message of support? (Or does it just mean I need therapy?)
Yes, it does. While there's no reason to not be concerned for those people who are * like* you in having some sort of identity that leaves them open to a massively-increased risk of personal safety; but they *aren't* you. And the fact that they aren't you, but this did happen to you, and that means that you have every reason to focus on what your future is going to be like. No guilt is necessary.
