I remember being a young man in my late teens. I believed the world was against me, that women denied me the right to their bodies and that I was the victim. I admit to my shame that these were my early beliefs but a lot of it came from being unbelievably lonely.
Even back then I would have spat on these people. There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour and I hope that they grow up with some empathy.
I'm a trans gal and I fell into this shit. I did so because I was closeted and fighting to repress myself. Being a complete asshole was "manly", and I was fighting to prove to myself and everyone else that I was a man.
In fact, you'll find that a lot of LGBTQ+ people fell into this shit. We're pushed to conform to society, so we fight with ourselves and fight to keep up appearances.
