being a trans man is sometimes so dumb especially when you have a lot of cishet friends. how am i supposed to explain i am also sixteen years old and not a toddler. like it's so weird because even though a lot of cis friendgroups consist of guys and girls, there's always this moment where the guys talk about stereotypically "male" experiences and the girls do the same, or photos where it's like "guys photo!" or "girls photo" or guys/girl's night and it's all so gendered and of course I pass fairly well but even so, I gotta be okay with knowing men don't see me as a man and women don't see me as a woman so in order to compromise they see me as a little man child baby thing. like a little boy. like we are the same age. i am also sixteen. don't worry Omar you can swear around me it's okay i won't tell mommy. idk and it's harder cause you can't get mad at them, especially because they usually don't mean any harm, it's just the way things are. siiigh. (doesn't help that I am like 5'4). oh to be male passing without feeling infantilized by daily experiences
