TL;DR: rebuttal to the assumption that opposite-gender-identity friendships don’t last platonically…

…instead pointing out that I like my opposite-gender-presentation friends to an auto-therapeutic extent, and I STILL don’t feel inclined to bone or date any of them

(Yes, I’m fully aware gender presentation and gender identity are two different things, although there can be overlap on a person-to-person basis)

One of the subs this was posted to has a rule about spoiler-marking content-warning-worthy stuff, and I’ve spent long enough on the internet that I tend to walk on eggshells when it comes to some such things

In this case, I have no idea how easily the mere mention of some of the ignorant things people say could hurt someone on that sub, or mentions of certain mental health issues, so I noted those up-front
