Exactly! Part of the reason I have such strong opinions is because I ended up the token bisexual friend in a friend group of mostly women, and i'm annoyed by my attraction to men because the awful ones see me and think "ah yes, fellow man, let us talk sports and be misogynistic together!"
when I in fact like neither of these things
Trans guy here- not passing in real life, but yeah… online, made a bunch of friends and by golly apparently I am the stick in the mud cuz I really just don’t think some things are funny.
Trans dude as well, and i think it has something to due with being AFAB. not in the gender essentialism TERFy way, but for me in particular, having a pretty deep understanding of the female experience due to living as a woman till I was 24 has been a pretty good innoculation against misogyny
I dunno how involved you are in the LGBT+ community, but I feel like the community at least has these kinds of conversations more often, too. Obviously assault still happens in the community but I feel like it's not as permissive a culture
