I'm Your Gun

I can’t fucking focus and everything is pissing me off. doing word wars is the only way I’m going to get anything done, but interacting with people is so frustrating right now.

god this is because of work isn’t it. this is because I don’t have meaningful interaction with anyone for days at a time and now that I have weekend to relax a bit I don’t know how.

I’m trying to figure out how to say “I am uncomfortable when people repeatedly make statements about how all men suck / are cancelled / are trash because it makes me feel ashamed for being a trans man” without invalidating the experiences of the people making those statements or feeling like I’m silencing them and asking them not to complain

something I really don’t like about being a trans man is trying to strike a balance between “the experiences of trans men are different from cis men and including trans men in your ‘all men’ statements can lead to trans men feeling shamed for ‘choosing’ to be men” and “differentiating between trans men and cis men is often insidiously transphobic and treating trans men as Men Lite isn’t good for anyone”
