Straight male validation has queer people tolerating the bare minimum

Queer people seriously need to stop treating basic tolerance from straight men as friendship.If a guy can laugh at transphobic jokes, stay silent when queer people are getting mocked, act weird about being seen with you publicly or suddenly become “one of the boys” when homophobia starts flying around....that is NOT your friend.

A lot of queer people cling to these friendships because straight male validation is still seen as some prize. It’s ABSOLUTELY NOT if not the opposite. You shouldn’t have to shrink yourself just to keep someone comfortable around you.Stop settling for people who only respect you in private. Real friends don’t go mute when it’s time to stand up for you.

I don’t like the person I see in the mirror. Not even “I wish I looked better”—I actually feel disgusted sometimes.It’s gotten to the point where I avoid mirrors unless I have to and even then I end up picking apart everything...my face, my body everything just feels… wrong.

And then i go on Instagram and see good looking gays and I keep thinking what if I was them to the point I get a reality check by almost everybody.all my straight guys in my class look better than me...seems like I'm the odd ball.i know it's stupid but it's real.it just feels everything is off.I don’t want to feel like this forever.

Edit: I originally posted this in a queer sub but it got removed, so I’m posting it here instead. Some of the wording might sound a bit specific because of that.
