Same here with both current T and former T. I've never felt either of them had judgmental views about my BPD traits; only acceptance.
No one asks for BPD, and my guess is that it goes along with trauma or neglect 100% of the time rather than 80-90% of the time, and it is the same as CPTSD.
It doesn't bother me, and it doesn't seem any different to me these days than talking about anxiety or depression. I feel bad for those who feel judged or shamed about this. Besides, people with strong borderline traits can often have vibrant, creative personalities, and there are other good qualities that go along with that temperament. The world would be boring with BPD.
