Yep. Definitely had this same experience. Not with rocks, specifically, but lots of similar things.

Others I just normalized despite hating.

An ex of mine was very conservative and *loathed* anyone different.
In retrospect, I'm pretty sure he was autistic with extreme internalized ableism. Self-loathing is a straight and quick road to bigotry.
