    I am listening, I think it’s a case by case basis and generalizations just alienate people instead of making them empathetic or sympathetic.

    I also know that people tend to downplay women’s concerns as part of misogynistic histories, so I am mindful of that too. I do my part to speak up against these kinds of patterns when I see them

    Edit I am just giving my pov, I wish there was a way to know which approach is more helpful.

    Edit 2 but yeah, I tend to generalize too, so I get the need to do it when something annoys you enough

      Youre not wrong, I’m in a lot of trans circles and their type of thinking tends to be detrimental to trans men, or at least extremely isolating.

      But hey anyone that tries to enforce a gender divide is gonna have to encourage division somehow
