Pretentious substitute for "non-negotiable
personal opinion."
Often used by academics, this is a convenient phrase for avoiding arguments because people can
contradict your opinion but not your "truth."
The phrase is often used when seeking to justify a controversial personal stance or action because people are not allowed to argue with "
your truth."
Gertrude: I'm leaving my husband. He is a really good, faithful guy and all, but I just don't love him anymore. It was a tough decision, but I have to stand in My Truth!"
Sharon: You are
so brave! I'm so
proud of you for being true to yourself !
Stay strong, sister!"
