Dang. I connect with this post by my friend Tyla and the one after in the entire thread, on a visceral level. And it's not just because of my revulsion toward men. Sorry, that sounds crappy. I should probably clarify that as the idea of a heterosexual, romantic relationship with a man is a revolting thought to me. Something hormone therapy has done to me is made me NOT like being in close proximity to a man/men. I feel sorta nauseated and like I want to crawl out of skin being in close proximity to men.
But it's not just that. It's also the dynamic of heteronormativity that gives me the ick also. It's gross to me. The co-dependency Tyla speaks of, then there's the societal brainwashing of "how things are supposed to be", enforced gender roles and just the whole damn shit that orbits straight ideology makes me feel like I need a shower when I see it.
I should have an Oscar or two on my shelves for having pulled off the role of dude for decades.
Oh... and about the post after this one in the thread? Yeah, like Tyla, it should have been my breaking point. I was cursed by someone to be loyal as a dog. Tyla and I became good friends early on when we joined Mastodon because we quickly noticed how much our lives paralleled each others.
