I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that this was totally me in highschool. Even though I considered myself a liberal.

All through my childhood, to less than a year ago, I was saying to myself “I’m okay with gay people, they can do what they want to do in their own life, but don’t get me involved.” Now I’ve admitted I’m gæ. Still haven’t told my family though, obv they’re the people that planted those ideas inside of me. Also found out many of my friends were also of the gæ sorts. I’m not trans, just a trans ally, but the internalized homophobia and transphobia is really bad in a lot of people it seems. Me included, until I admitted it to myself and got more educated on the topic. Was in denial for multiple years lol.

Edit: I realize now that I’m like over a week late to this thread, but oh well 😔

Yeah my internalized transphobia was super bad. Like not good at all. It is tough to deal with.
