It's been a few years: "But my friend, you left so early/Surely something slipped your mind/You forgot I gave these also/Would you leave the best behind?"---yeap yeap. Gotcha. Yeah, people abuse kindness, I feel that. But I can only do this because I cut the toxic trans people out of my life. I DEFINITELY don't talk to the yuri addict who peaked me. I do have a trans colleague whose work I respect and whose company I enjoy, and some of my GC friends are lesbians who once identified as genderqueer/nonbinary when they were figuring things out. The latter are the people I'll have frank conversations about gender with, so that they're not just hearing about gender dysphoria fixes from the TRAs.

I don't provide support in ways that conform to the TRA narrative, if that's what you're wondering. No "you're valid!!!" or anything of the sort. More like, there's nothing wrong with you, it's not possible for someone to be born in the wrong body, this is the body you have and you don't have to change it. (I'm not... I'm not sure why people claim to support body acceptance and SRS... like what??? What????)

Appreciate the warning, and I could go more into the nuance, but rest assured that I've been an empath for decades and the world has absolutely beaten the naiveté out of me.
