But disagreement doesn’t erase my lived experience or give anyone permission to rewrite my family’s story.</p><p>My shirt says it plainly: “My speech isn’t hate speech. It’s speech you hate.”</p><p>This is a personal conversation about speaking honestly, challenging political expectations, and refusing to change my story to fit somebody else’s narrative.</p><p>Can we respect someone’s experience without demanding that they vote the same way we do?</p><p>Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify and share this episode with someone willing to have that conversation.</p><p>Get the shirt at <a href="https://bertaprouddad.com/">https://BertaProudDad.com</a><br>Free shipping on orders over $150 CAD.</p>
