Don’t lecture me on how awful traditional gender-segregated social settings are. I know. Where do nonbinary people even fit in? Gender nonconforming people are often excluded to the periphery. It’s a mess. BUT... It still happens EVERYDAY. Especially in professional settings.

I used to literally get nervous when I’d be expected to be around male colleagues in social settings that were heavy on the traditional male conversations. I was always relatively outcast from the conversations, and my humor always fell flat because…get this…I’m not a guy.

The irony in “trans women mimic gender stereotypes” is the only time I DID mimic stereotypes was when I was forced to interact with men. And I did so out of a sense of survival and a longing to try and fit in. I didn’t transition into stereotypes…I transitioned out of them.

And look, this isn’t about bashing guys at all. I got to know a lot of GREAT guys. But that doesn’t mean I liked pretending to be a guy around them, no matter how great. It’s not “toxic masculinity” I’m on about. It’s the basic interactions about nothing I never could get.

rather few true friends than many lousy friends. no matter whether female or male. the main thing is that you feel comfortable with each other. my circle of friends is also quite small. there are only people who like me and who I like.pic.twitter.com/l78GDvH6WL

Agree wholeheartedly. Even as a guy, I couldn’t be friends with a lot of women because a lot of women don’t have guy friends. At least not with any closeness. Some do, for sure, but I think it’s more the exception. But yeah, I’ll take 1 true friend over 100 blah friends.

In social situations I mostly always went with the wives and gf’s. I have no time for grown ass men getting drunk and behaving like tools. I’d far rather smash a cheesecake and get my nails done (I now also know how boring most of them are in the bedroom

In the traditional conservative south, that’s not acceptable, and the conservative women let you know it isn’t.
