Got misgendered and yelled at recently by a trans woman who argued that I'm just a cis person trying to seem special and that I don't understand what it's like to really be misgendered and oppressed. She told me that I don't understand real dysphoria and that I'm just trying to stand out as a "cool dude". Ironically I felt progressively more dysphoric and angry every time she kept calling me a man. It took every last ounce of willpower in me to stop myself from beating her bloody. Now I'm feeling like shit today and probably will continue feeling like shit tomorrow.

Why are some people so fucking terrible.

Sadly people of all types/shapes/colors/upbringings/etc. have the capability to be shitty. I could guess at why that person decided to lash out in your general direction, but I don't know what they have gone through and honestly wouldn't want to take pot shots at them. I hope it was just a random one off and you don't need to interact with them on any kind of basis.
