A friend of mine is arguing with me saying cishet men are oppressed and stuff. He thinks I'm insane for supporting the community I'm a part of

I'm just tired of not being to talk to anyone around me. My support network IRL is my therapist and my 2 lil siblings. To be honest I fell into the pipeline too like a year ago. Being bi was sthe wake up call that I was wrong. I just don't want to lose anyone else

I've been in your place too about having next to no social life and jeering to decide if my identity or my connections were worth keeping because I couldn't have both. It doesn't help that I belong to multiple minorities. In the end I decided I can't get a new identity and nobody who discriminates against who I am can be called a friend. Some years down the line I have a very loyal cat who has never once attempted to explain to me that she really know more about autism than I do or that my gender isn't real or that I really need to go to a church. It's touch and go with human friendships but it's nice to have the space in my life for nurturing relationships.

My choice isn't for everyone but I hope this can give you some food for thought.
