This Twitter post, and the replies, hit me hard this morning.

I have never seen this side of cis masculinity. (Affirmation and inclusion are not stereotypically offered by cis dudes to persons who look like me, no matter the topic.)
I am realizing that if a friend is someone who would be supportive and welcoming about something that's that deeply important to me, then I currently have zero cis dude friends among the people I hang out with.
Knowing why doesn’t make it sting less.

Myself, I don't want romantic or sexual contact, let alone partnership, with anyone who's not a friend, which makes that not sting for me.
BTW, speaking as a sort of genderqueer person, I perceive you as *person*. Or as he tweet says, friend.

Thank you! I think you are really nifty and I’m really glad to know you.
