While your specific examples of things you were ignoring are different from mine, and I never developed the judgemental worldview you mentioned in “…and now?”, I realized a while ago that this was something I was/am doing, and that it’d been causing me to ignore important things.
I think it might be more common with AMABs, due to the way they’re generally socialized. Toxic masculinity’s a bitch, y’all.
Also, I specify “AMABs” instead of “guys” because apparently one of the things I was ignoring is that I’m trans; yay me for managing to intentionally miss THAT for 22 years.
Oooooh man, I relate to this too hard.
