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.

Erf. I'm sorry that's how things came to be. I hope you can improve your company and certain people become a bit more conscious of their behavior and its impact.

Thank you! And I do have friends who see me as a person. I value them and I need to show them that.
