I want to be with my own kind.

I feel torn about that. I think it's human nature to be comfortable with people who are most similar, mostly your family -- but then I'm uncomfortable with most of my family!

I was close friends with a young man from the Middle East who was studying engineering (this was last year) and he said most of the professors (at his university in the USA) were from India and would give higher grades to Indian students and show bias agains the Arab students, so he was really angry that he'd come to the USA to study -- discrimination goes on no matter what groups are involved. Whoever has the power seems to favor their own, I guess. We're so used to hearing about or experiencing black and white, male and female, and when you remove black, white, and female from the equation, there's still discrimination. His experience really hit me.

And it makes me think even the Trans Lobby will turn more on itself when they don't have a common external enemy (women) -- I guess they already do with "Truscum" and those other divisions they've got.

To OP: Narcissists and "Eternal Victims" will always be there to abuse and bully people who don't parrot what they want to hear. It's very draining on the person speaking truth. Don't drain your energy for one selfish person online though. Save it for the bigger battle against those making anti-woman policy, I guess. Not like they'll listen though.

FFS, I don't want to read about discrimination against a man. This is why I'm so extra in being anti-men because you all casually show empathy for them. Someone has to be on the opposite end of the man-loving to man-hating spectrum. I'm black, and I don't whine in women's spaces about black men being murdered by white cops. Not one mention of George Floyd (until now). I don't give a fuck about men.

My point was just that whoever has the upperhand will often favor others like them, no matter the groupings involved.
