i'm glad i'm at a point in my life where i can trust the people i'm close to to tell me if they have an issue with me or something.
when i ended up posting a lot about transmisogyny on cohost i had multiple friends and partners DM me asking for clarification because they didn't understand what i meant and didn't think a surface-level interpretation of "virulently hates trans men" could be correct.
and i'm glad i'm at a point where, at least for the people closest to me, anything i say isn't going to be taken in the worst possible light, and even if the people i love were worried about that, they'd ask me before condemning me as evil.
i can feel safe and assured that everything won't fall apart over a misinterpretation ever again, and that's really good for me.
