Nobody gets respect when clapping for emphasis.

Men don't have a reason to reject traditional gender norms and in fact have reasons not to.

Some men who don't reject gender roles kill themselves.

If they had rejected the criticism as invalid and distanced themselves from those people, it seems the data suggests they'd live longer. In my experience, it works.

if necessary you leave the people who make your life insufferable.

Great plan there! Abandon every survival tactic you've ever known and if any of the few actual allies in your life bitch about it abandon them too. Wander out into the world disarmed and entirely alone...

They're not all your allies, and who you keep contact with and how you do it is up to you. You sound like you deeply fear the world, and instead choose familiar hostility.

The energy you're bringing here is "have you tried...not being trans?"

How the fuck am I bringing that energy? I thought it was pretty clear I was talking about shutting out traditional family if necessary to avoid harassment. I wasn't specifically thinking about trans people, but they fit under the broader umbrella of misfits living in tradition-town needing a way out that isn't so final.

I don't know if you want to try transitioning or not, I didn't really get a picture of what you're about. But no, I personally see no reason to tell people they can't.

Look, there are good and bad people out there. But the average experience is less bad than having to endure prolonged adult contact with cruel family. People distance themselves from cruel people for good reason. People do move away when necessary, even if there are risks. For some people life didn't really start before they kinda got away from their past like that.

But I just mentioned that as an option to not have to endure it. Often it's enough to just distance yourself socially from the people who are a problem.
