Maybe we need to make some space to have conversations about the way that rigid gender expectations can hurt people. I'm not talking about trans people, exclusively (in fact the trans people I know are among the most sophisticated when it comes to processing these kinds of events and emotions)

No, where I see a lot of unprocessed trauma flailing around putting everyone in a bad way is from cis people who have unexamined psychological harm due to their failure to conform to some gender norm. 1/

@futurebird
This is something that actually led to a fight between an ex and I. She was mortified that I'd ordered a "girl drink" (a Long Island Iced Tea) while we were out one day, and got verbally abusive over it.

I just don't order drinks anymore. No one's ever attacked me over water.

@pikzim @futurebird Restaurants? You don't even need to order it there. They just bring it to you.
