Thank you so much for your post on male guilt. When I first came out, I got quickly labeled as truscum for talking about my experience with sexism and ended up falling into that group and internalizing a lot of bad ideas on transness. Then trying to escape that, I fell into self hatred trying to convince myself the sexism I face isn’t real.

Thank you for sharing that. That is exactly why breaking these narratives is so important. When some real experiences of pain are not welcome at the table because they do not fit the neat little narrative of how privilege works, we drive people into the arms of the only people willing to acknowledge their experiences. And those people may have terrible ideas but when they’re the only ones acknowledging that your experiences are real they sound damn convincing.
