Will the world ever be sane? This is the comment on "Elliot" Page coming out

Also, kinda unrelated, there's this really cool youtuber "Negative Legend" and I adored him for being very non-comforming. Just your every day "feminine" guy who fucking owns it and does it flawlessly. Or so I thought. Newest video and what do I see? A fucking "non-binary" sticker. I've lost hope.

I'm very sad and tired of the bullshit. LET MEN BE MEN AND WOMEN BE WOMEN.

I feel sad for guys like him. I was a kinda feminine teenager, and guys like us often get bullied or isolated by our straight masculine peers. Many of us look into gay communities for comfort. Except gay spaces are now all LGBTQ+ spaces. It never happened to me, but I imagine it can be easy to identify as a label like non-binary when you see guys that look like you using this label, while at the same time you're distancing yourself from the male label that is associated with the people that bullied you.

In the end of the day, both traditional homophobia and woke homophobia work together.

Every so often I wonder if I'm exaggerating how much LGBTQ+ spaces are all just trans. Like, the other day. But, I took myself over to /r/LGBT, and god, it really is. No gays at all, just "look at my hormonally altered body" and "Look at my trans flags".
