I just can’t imagine treating a friend that way
#it’s so easy to have a pressure release valve for guilt#the loaded gun sitting on the table of punitive abandonment for the woman you hurt#so easy to double down again and again to avoid the guilt of any of it#so easy to have people around you tell you your transfem friend was obviously Bad#so easy to seek out justification and ‘confirmation’ from others who had done the same#it’s so fucking easy. and yet I never can imagine seeing a friend as a danger or discomfort in that way#and blaming them for it#I cannot imagine it and I refuse to#too bad they turned out to be capable of exactly what they swore they hated and worried about#because it’s easy in the end to see yourself as a lone exception to implicit bias#instead of recognizing how to stop those patterns
