Hi @Oz-E
Welcome to SANE forums. I hope you find this a supportive place.
I'm so sorry that you had to experience such horrible abuse growing up. That discusion at the BBQ would have heart wrenching. The ignorance, insensitivity and vulgarity of some people is just mindboggling.
I hope you have had some support to help you deal with what occured. Please get in touch with the following services if you need to talk any of this through...

And just a tip with using the forums, if you are replying to someone or wanting to notify or touch base with someone, place an @ before their username, as in @Oz-E
All the best
Joe The Lion
