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.

I need me some cis queer dudes in my life. Not to say all straight people are Bad or all queer people are Good. Far from it. Just that queer dudes have much more often examined and fought some of our culture's programming around homophobia.
