A TiM has started volunteering at the soup kitchen where I volunteer. He turns every conversation to be about himself, his mental illnesses and physical ailments, his transition, and the transphobia he allegedly encounters everywhere. I expected my fellow volunteers, who are virtually all TWAW libfems, to embrace him but I’ve started to realize they can’t stand him either. Today a group of us were supporting another volunteer who is going through a rough breakup when the TiM interrupted that this was nothing compared to the transphobia he always encountered when dating. The other volunteers fell silent and just stared at him until one said something like “how awful” in a monotone and redirected the conversation to the first woman. Women supporting women. It warmed my heart.
