Quite often I provide personal background as to how I've wound up with the perspectives I have. As the old saying goes, "the personal is political" and I try to be upfront about the personal.
Everything I talk about in this thread, I have lived through, to an extent.
The cis world tried its best to shove me through masculine social training and I remember A LOT. I remember its failure points and I remember its abusiveness.
And at 17, I figured out on my own that it was incredibly toxic.
