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.

My mental model of “the majority” is that sex (along with what passes for romance among people who cannot be romantic with an equal) is supremely important, creating a frantic desperation that overwhelms most other considerations.
(My mind is not a nice place. :/ )
