See....I don't find it surprising at all that there's a lot of shy activists. It's like...here's a bunch of people..almost all of us, shy or not, would be just as happy to go on and live our happy lives. Some people are born to make waves, and that's awesome, but a whole lot more of us I feel just get to a point where we can't NOT do anything anymore. Exactly like you said, Gennee, that you must speak out. It comes to a point where you just can't stand by and pretend it's not that bad anymore. And maybe it was a specific incident, or a growing sense of unease, or some other path, but I"m not surprised in the least that otherwise shy people are stepping up and doing very un-shy things.
