And surely you aren’t doing that right now, right?

It’s a reasonable request? Why are you telling them to essentially leave?

Okay, to bluntly answer your original question then:

People are upset because you lied.

I’m comfortable being a woman with my lady parts. I also like to pretend. I told people I was male (transmasc, specifically) so that I could freely experience attraction to just men without having the “straight” label.

This is the part people will likely get upset about. I’m not pretending when I say I’m a woman. I am trans. Trans folks have been begging for people to respect their identity. It has nothing to do with sexuality, I did not transition in order to be seen as a lesbian woman or as a straight man. I did it to be seen as a woman. The other labels are added on after.

The way you’ve worded this, it seems like you’ve taken the trans masc identity and the trust that’s been garnered around trans identities and abused it. Your feelings about this are valid, but I really feel you should approach this differently.

If you are feeling uncertain about your gender, then explore that and determine if you truly feel that way. Maybe you are trans masc? Maybe not? If you find yourself struggling with your gender but not rejecting your assigned gender at birth, maybe explore what it means to be genderfluid or nonbinary?

If you feel this is strictly a discomfort with your sexuality labels and perception of them, please find some other ways to convey it that does not involve abusing gender labels.

Hey, we can both misrepresent why you’re doing this. You’re already doing a great job of it.

I feel like I’m in the waning days of whatever freedom allowed me to transition, and that I or people like me will end up as genocide statistics in a ravaged world. It’s been hard to get up every day.

Unless you have neopronouns, obviously

You couldn’t even stay on top of it here. You’re leaving over an instance rule.

Imagine being such a pissbaby that you hold a community hostage instead of blocking someone that you struggle to engage with.
