This forum is inhabited by many who are avid readers and/or authors of stories. So I suppose than none of us will have much doubt about the power of words. However, did you know that language actually physically affects neural processes and how our brains perceive the outside world?

Words change how the brain sees things
"The brain is constantly making predictions about what it will see based on past experiences -- even a word heard seconds prior"

Language And Color Perception Linked In Human Brain
"Does the language people speak influence their perception of the world? Recent findings suggest that it may well. For the first time, scientists have found patterns of brain activation that signal a positive relationship between language and color perception."

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
