This is not said with any kind of malice to the trans community, I respect my trans homies. But literally no one gives a shit about dudes.

    Have you ever asked if they care?

    Maybe we’re all just waiting for permission to take the mask off and really open up.

      I haven’t asked directly if they care, but anytime I try to explain anything related to a possible emotional state I might be experiencing I tend to get shut down really hard? Or people just ignore it completely

        Some guys have no interest in being anything but the manliest man they can manifest, and maybe I’m wrong, but I think there’s a lot of us who are just waiting for someone to break the ice.

        I have a very good friend who started making it a habit to tell me he loves me, and dammit, I’ll say it right back because I do love him like a brother. I don’t love my other friends less, but, that shame that hides in my brain tells me I can’t do that to them.

        I’ll sneak it in the group chat. Let’s all try to open that door for each other!
