    /u/cerebralhawks did understand the tweet.

    In short he wrote that everybody has to adapt his persona in some ways to fit into society and the expectations of educators. Some adopted easily, some also with mental anguish. (Think about not talking/not pursuing about your favorite interest because it is not cool, or because parents deem it to girly for a boy)

    Nearly everybody has to sort this out when growing up/taking initiative to make choices out of interest and personality and not because of the environment. (and one of them can be: I am not my assigned gender!)

    He also aknowledged that queer people have to deal with this more on average.

      /u/cerebralhawks did understand the tweet.

      Please point out where I said he didn’t.

      I merely clarified why the tweet was saying QUEER when he said that Cis Straight people can relate too. I did not reduce his contribution, I merely elaborated on the original tweet. I mean… I literally said the words

      Not saying that Cis people can’t relate, just clarifying what was meant here by the tweet.
