When I was younger, I was thin, blond, green-eyed and freckled. In short, a bit of a twink. I didn't present as macho, but grew up in a rough neighborhood and when I went to college, could take down any "manly" frat-boy bullies who thought they could push me around.
Now I'm much older, also much bigger, look like an extra in a biker movie, but am still the same guy I was back then, and I'm never on the side of 'roid-raging morons or idiot red-pillers. When they think I'm one of them and start chatting shit, I shut it down fast. Even when they're hormone-stuffed human cauliflowers, they're soft. I'm not going to turn my back on my gay, lesbian and trans friends just because they make you insecure. You're the one with the wrong values and self-loathing. Work on that if you want to feel better about yourself.
