Clean break is what I wanted, I guess.

Well, actually, I wanted him to admit he was being a massive a*****e, admit he was wrong, and get him to have a moment of clarity, realize how misogynistic he is, and stop being so dismissive of me.

It's not happening, though, and so the next best thing I could've asked for was a clean break.

The log is far too long to paste here, there were some laughs, some good feelings, but in the end he just couldn't take it seriously, and he couldn't accept what I was telling him. I can't have toxic people in my life.

I couldn't be myself around him, I didn't feel comfortable being who I am, and he laughed, when I told him that. He said I was making s**t up, being ridiculous, etc.

I'm gender fluid. I told him I'm transgender, because it's easier than explaining gender fluidity.

I'm demisexual. Again, I told him asexual, because he has trouble grasping the basics, and literally told me "go back to tumblr".

I can't stand misogynists. Especially not as a woman. I can't have someone who actively dismisses women, and uses woman as a derogatory term keeping me from being myself. I have to hide who I am from my family and community, I don't want to have to hide it online, especially not from someone I considered my best friend.

This is probably the best thing for me, even if it feels like s**t.

Time heals all wounds, I guess.
