No, you're not wrong.

For example recently I posted about how it sucks growing up being assumed to be the "gay one" because you don't fit masculinity, how I was bullied for it and how turning out to be actually gay was very hard for me, and even TODAY I still feel ashamed of my femininity as an adult.

I'm a straight GNC male, but this bit, it resonates, man. I get you, even though I'm attracted to women. I know that experience.

These narcissists, though? Fucking hell. Of course they don't. They're female. The grew up as women. Yes, that has its own set of issues. But they're not your issues.

This is the kind of shit that pushed me towards the GC movement. As a long-time gay ally (having lots of gay male friends, spending a lot of time with them) what bugged me was actually this bit. The appropriation, the woque homophobia. And I read how they spoke about women, especially lesbians, and it set me off even more. How is this shit progressive?
