I dunno man, I just read the tweet and said “I feel that.” I’ll grant you I feel it in a different way and even allow that it’s not to the extent of a gay or trans or queer person.
I’m also not gonna sit there and say I have friends who are gay. I do, but I wish I had more. I have a niece who had a friend in school who was trans. The friend’s parents made them dress like their birth assigned sex, and my niece and her friends would bring them the clothes they wanted to wear. It was awesome. They’re all grown now. I’ll have to ask her if she still talks to that person. I wish I had friends like that, experiences like that growing up.
But I’m just me, and I try to be an ally, but at the end of the day, I’m just me. I can relate, but maybe my experiences aren’t the same. I don’t think they have to be, though. To say I feel ya, no judgment here.
