i think part of my dysphoria is my anxiety. like not in the sense that anxiety makes me more aware of my dysphoria but like. the flavor of anxiety i express in public does not read as Man Anxiety. i don’t know if there is a Man Anxiety stereotype in my mind. i guess the Man Anxiety stereotype in my mind is that Men Don’t Show Anxiety They Hide Everything And Act Normal Or Angry. but even still. being afraid of looking people in the eye and being afraid to go near other people lest they be uncomfortable doesn’t really read as Manxiety.

#it’s not fair it’s not fair #for years people in my life gave me various reasons why i didn’t read as a guy. and it’s all normal ass shit #1. you’re too concerned about the cleanliness of your home (woman behavior) 2. you’re polite and don’t take up space (woman moment)#3. you don’t like cars and trucks and ipas and fighting and sports and-#4. you’re an artist and do bad in school??? how more woman can you are?#5. you complain when people are mean to you?? what are you transitioning into a BITCH or something??#6. you cry sometimes?? and think animals are cute?? they say horse GIRL yk. not horse MAN #all things actually insinuated to me by my dad and sibling and extended family and friends #this is like 8+ years ago at this point but yk #still stings 🥲#punktalk
