driftless in the city.

this. read this.

This is great.  And I’m glad he addressed race towards the end a bit, because I read most of this wanting to insert “white” in front of “cis gay male culture”.  

From my experience as a white queer man in NYC who inhabits spaces in the queer world that are not what I would typically call “white cis gay male” spaces but more “queer largely POC spaces that tend to be on the masculine side”, I would say, at least in my world, the MAAB trans people of my life are still very much a part of a queer men of color space.  Let’s not pretend I know what I’m talking about fully and that my ideas are well formed and feel free to complicate this or help me along tumblr friends.  

All this to say, interesting read but I wish it talked about how race plays into this because it does on huge levels.
