amen.
i keep trying to be on the side of these people, but they keep telling me i'm a shit person because of my skin color, my gentials, my education, etc. and ironically.. most of these people are WAY more privileged than will ever be. I'm so sick of trans/feminist peopel telling me off that i'm a POS who got all the advantages in life... while they often got free-rides on the life train due to parental wealth and exploiting other people where as i had to struggle to get into college and pay off my debts and didn't get a tsate of this so called of 'privileged' until iwas well into my 30s. all the while being constantly harassed for not being a 'real man' and also 'being a man'. all i ever wanted was to be left alone to do my own thing... but no. the second i want ot empathize about being beating for my non-gender conformity, i'm told to STFU and that I'm 'stealing' or whatever, because apparently my expereince of my gendered life and gender violence doesn't exist or is all lies and falsehoods because i'm not trans, or a woman. and oh by the way, if it did really happen... i clearly deserved it because of the debt i own gender minorities or something.
like... ok i won't be on your side anymore then. i'll just leave you to your own bitterness and focus on folks who treat me well who aren't pathologically violent against anyone who is different than them and who take offense at every perceived slight.
