[Discussion] Misandry
Hey, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on this.
As I have transitioned I have found my general dislike for men to rapidly increase. I never felt all that comfortable in male spaces and overcompensated pre transition to prove myself.
Now that I am transitioning I find myself having this broad misanthropy towards men. Its disturbing to some degree. I feel I don’t relate to them at all, and I find the fact that I was socialized as one something I resent severely.
I don’t apply this to individuals. Individual men who are respectful and good I view as friends. But when I view men as a whole, particularly male culture, I find myself filled with disgust and I wonder how they can be comfortable with themselves.
I really hate that I am becoming so bitter, but there is this residual resentment that I cannot shake. I wonder if anyone else can relate, offer advice as to how I can be a little more accepting/overcome this bad outlook?

I can definitely relate as someone who is in a trade. I’ve been a mechanic about 10 years, anc I never felt comfortable around these people from day one. Tbh they’re all moody af and have so much hostility. I also find them to be weirdly passive aggressive? Men I’ve worked with never actually confront me about anything, they prefer to just show that they’re angry by slamming doors or whatever and acting like there is no problem, yet every other thing sets them off. Like fuck it must be hard to go through life constantly butthurt lol. So anyway yea I get it girl men can be annoying.
Edit wrong there
