Feel free to define SWIM.
1 comments

SWIM is often used in online discussions on sensitive topics to avoid self-identifying as a member of a stigmatized or criminalized group: Someone Who Isn’t Me.

However, I have a friend called SWIM, who is the referent in my posts. I’ll update the posts to refer to the friend explicitly.
