    An interesting observation from another source: since being straight and white is now the worst thing ever and we, especially the males, are now responsible for absolutely everything that goes wrong anywhere in the universe and everyone hates us for that, any kid unfortunate enough to find themselves in that predicament is going to identify as just about anything else in order to retain some degree of popularity.

      The only one who feels that way is you. Even then I really don’t think you actually believe that.

      There’s nothing wrong with being a straight white guy. I am one. The issue comes when you fail to recognize that gives you a huge advantage because you’re seen as the default, perfect combination of traits in the eyes of many. You’ll be treated better than others in some forums, on average, just for being you. People who hear that and then say “nuh uh, actually its the other way around because you people are fighting against the status quo. Also you’re brainwashing kids by exposing them to viewpoints I disagree with.” are the problem.

      damn you must not go outside much.

      You should try it sometime, the amount of straight white guys that are outside is probably about the same as the amount of straight white guys that are alive right now.

      Have you tried acting trans simply for popularity sake? I am genuinely curious if it’s something you would be willing to try and ultimately what your take aways on the experience would be.
