    Yeah this isn’t unique to being queer dude. Every time someone tries to empathize with you and you interrupt them about how doubly special your own problems are, you are punishing them for trying. Do you think that’s a good way to get people to care about your perspective?

      Yeah this isn’t unique to being queer dude.

      Please point out where I said that it was.

      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.

      Did I copy and paste most of this comment from another one I just made? Yes. But I genuinely don’t know how y’all thought I was somehow attacking him when I literally said the words I am just clarifying the original post. Mainly because, oh I dunno, it’s a queer tweet from a queer person posted by a queer person to a queer community. Like I felt it was worth calling out the extra pressure that we feel due to the fear of being M U R D E R E D.
