yeah but....you know deep down even they don't believe it. like a much more innocuous version of one of these people approached me and my bro at the climbing gym last week. she kind of inserted herself in our conversation cause i guess she saw dudes being bros and felt compelled to play act. i wasn't mean to her or anything but afterwards i couldn't help thinking about how she could see in my eyes that i would never think of her as what she was so desperate to be thought of as. like, why do they torture themselves like this? in the glint of even the most well meaning people's eyes there's a refutation of the entire lie they try to construct. their entire lives are a lie. but they wear it like a badge of honor. idk if this makes any sense.
