I can relate. It's actually turned into a sort of trigger for psychotic episodes for me. This one asshole had my some of my former friends convince me of it, then had a lot of gay bosses who seem to interpret you being work-nice as interested, even the fucking algorithms.

People are often hypocritical in that they like to say there is a range of difference in personality when disputing transgenderism (a sentiment I agree with) but then seek incapable of understanding that you can be a straight dude without having sex due to personality and anxiety.

It sucks. But I'm not gonna get beaten into pretending to be someone else by it. I'd rather just get shit on for being me. Wish you all the best in your personal navigation through it.
