It was the comment "now I evade women who look like me" or similarly phrased sentiment, in a thread here yesterday that did it for me. So many of us identified with that. It saddened and angered me. Women divided and living in fear is exactly what they want. I have been wanting to come out publicly for years, but have let the threats of violence, financial and social ruin silence me. No more. I just ordered 5 custom T shirts and I'm going to wear them everywhere! Now when a gender critical non conforming leftist woman sees me she will KNOW I am safe. No more isolation. No more fear. I made:
SEX NOT GENDER
GENDER IS SEXIST HOMOPHOBIC NONSENSE
WOMAN IS NOT A FEELING
PRONOUNS ARE GASLIGHTING
PROTECT WOMAN ONLY SPACES
I love them, I can't wait, I'm ready for any backlash, and I'm hopeful it makes me a friend or two, or at least makes someone out there feel less alone.
