Totally agree, and I am also with you on the pink stuff. Here we even have vanity license plates with breast cancer survivor on them. Its your medical history, it's private.
I tried editing my comment above about the pink ribbons and such, but was unable to, so will just post here. After thinking about this more, I see where wearing a BC hat or shirt, etc can actually bring about awareness or even a reminder to some to go schedule their mammogram. I can also see where you can form a friendship or bond with a total stranger just by starting a conversation because you noticed their shirt, hat, etc. It brings forth a sense of normalcy when you have something in common with someone else and you can talk about it.
I am a JEEP girl and a huge dog and horse lover. My hats, shirts, and vehicle all represent that. I have made new friends by just starting a conversation with someone else with the same interests.
And, I am in no way judging someone else by their own thoughts and feelings, that is what makes us unique. There is no right or wrong. We are all going through our own struggles and at different stages. (((BIG HUGS to all of you)))
