being a gay catholic teenager is hilarious because you're told getting horny makes god mad and then you go sit silently in a building decorated almost exclusively in artwork of crying half naked men tied up to things

@uwuFeffy transition can often make trans masc people feel like we lose all support from friends, and to be honest we often are kind of forgotten or not checked up on as often. it's the toxic idea that men just don't need emotional support that causes so many of us to feel so alone
