I think that some (not all) of the stigma may come from the fact that it is considered a primarily feminine diagnosis.

I've found that some of the most vitriolic comments I have seen also come with a hefty dose of misogyny.

Now clearly there are other sources. Even the nicest of people with BPD can be hard on their loved ones. Being loved one minute hated the next. Never knowing what's going to set off a mood swing. It's tough.

However, I am very much over being hated for something that was out of my control and that I am now doing my best to repair.

Like I said somewhere else. You don't have to support us but you don't need to make it harder either.
