#journal#i cant find the quote rn but there was that one lesbian writer who talked about FTMs and the very literal cruelty of kicking people out of#literal community on a technicality#being a gay trans man often feels like being kicked out of communities on technicalities#and so your existence in a queer space becomes either 'implicitly lesbophobic' or 'implicitly transphobic' or 'implicitly homophobic'#and you live in this rhetorical no mans land where no person on planet earth is willing to budge a little to allow your gray areas in#but you are supposed to be endlessly forgiving of everyone else's e.g. the cis het people in the space being DL for fucking ever but still#needing endless grace and forgiveness#which yes absolutely be here be in the social circle but for god's sake if you're going to do that#and going to include overtly vocally cis straight men in queer and trans spaces because it's exclusionary not to#dont treat me like a fucking animal for being friends with a friend of yours#dont treat me like a walking time bomb#i dont mean to sound cruel it's just#it's very painful to 'technically' be predatory based on your identity in every queer space you try to befriend and enter in
