"Niceguys" they try to proclaim they are nice when that is a the biggest bunch of a horseshit ever. They have a whole reddit dedicated to them.

The school board needs to be notified. The teacher needs to be terminated with a sex offender status attached to his name. Any other students involved with this conversation promoting this idea need to be expelled.

But the evidence is all around us.

This was a whole classroom.

And I'm still a man on the outside, but given another year or two when my body changes completely along with my face. I'm going to be dealing with this as a trans woman.

body and then will experience it in a female one. You are going to have massive insights that the rest of us just don't have access to.

But yes, they are frightening. Because of their frustrated entitlement.

I've seen how bad toxic masculinity is. I've been friends with them, I've seen it at bars and clubs. Even before I came out, I was always extremely uncomfortable with some of them acting the way they did. Usually I would leave them via Uber, seems without me it would throw their game off. Because I wasn't an awkward asshole like they all were. I was actually very laid back and mellow when it came to chatting with women. Probably because I am one inside of myself!

You must have related very well to the women around you. Did your male friends ever learn anything from your behavior?

They aren't really my friends anymore. Most I worked with when I was at PepsiCo. When they found out I was undergoing transitioning, they said nope. No more friendship and I said fine. Y'all are gonna be on a fucking list one day anyways. But I had a good personality, I was very outgoing back in the day. But I always showed no desperation, I just chatted about random stuff and carried on conversations. I never gave off the I wanna take you home and have sex vibe.

Keyword. Boys who never grew up literally. I never should have befriended them to begin with, besides they were using me to get close to women. Honestly I'm sure they are transphobic anyways.

Those courses were full of young Republicans when I attended college years ago, so that's my guess.

Those students were more focused on future paychecks.

Students more interested in learning for the sake of it didn't behave that way.
