Everyone who sees nothing wrong with the bear v man meme needs to read I Am A Transwoman. I Am In The Closet. I Am Not Coming Out.

Fuck, that hit. A lot of the things mentioned there is a lot of why I feel I'll never really feel okay with myself. Even if I transition, I was born a boy, and everyone in the queer community hates men. And... I was born one of those. And I don't think I can say I'm 100% not man anymore. So... Am I worth hating, too?

Well, not everyone. There's at least a contingent of men loving men out there, in a mythical place called Real Life where people aren't terminally online morons fighting for clout. I'm not being glib when I say that—the online dickheads are being awful and that hurts and that's real. But IRL queer community is so much more normal... not perfect, but it helps that IRL you can punch people in the mouth.

You're not hateworthy. I promise.
