Figured my identity out a little more. I’m definitely a man—just fruity as hell. I’m also gay as fuck.
I think the reason I didn’t figure my stuff out for so long is bc not only did I have my own fear of men to work through, but, the whole “i hate men,” shit did NOT help. In my mind, why would I want to be something everyone supposedly hates?
Ngl, the “quirky” misandry shit is damaging and harmful to trans people in general. Even with jokes. It only hammers home that being a certain gender or role is shit and everyone will hate you for it. It literally prevented me from exploring my identity for YEARS—how is that helpful in ANY way? Now I have to spend time feeling like I’m playing catch up on my own manhood.
The key to peace is not fucking hatred. You can get upset and be critical, but full on hating or pretending to hate something or someone is incredibly damaging to the whole.
Some people really need to get that through their skull. And no, this isn’t specific—i just see a LOT of people in the community shit all over men for just… existing. I also don’t believe we need to center men or anything like that; I just believe it would be more helpful to have open conversations instead of bashing people constantly.
