"And if you consider me a "victim", why the reluctance to speak with me?"

Oh, not to speak in general, but to attempt a rational discussion of this issue. As to why that:

There’s an anecdote that goes around psychology and psychiatry departments. A new clinical psychologist/psychiatric resident (depending on where you hear it) became fascinated with a case on his ward—a schizophrenic who suffered from the delusion that he was dead. The young doctor decided to have a go at talking him out of it.

“So, you’re dead, are you?”
“Yup. Dedderna doornail.”
“Well, tell me, do dead people bleed?”
“No, dead people don’t bleed.”

Thereupon, the young doctor whips out a needle, stabs the schizophrenic patient in the finger, and shows him the blood. The patient looks at it in puzzlement for a few seconds, then says in wonder, “Well, what do you know? Dead people do bleed.”

That’s why.

"You're free to believe whatever ridiculous garbage you like."

I'm also free to believe the evidence of my senses, no matter how desperately the agenda-driven insist otherwise.

The evidence of your senses tells you that lesbians are all interested in molesting children?
