I fit the internet SJW stereotype to an uncomfortable degree, but I don’t really identify with it (which makes sense, given that it’s a shallow idea of a person designed by people who dislike them).

At the same time, I absolutely do not fulfill the stereotype of the American in Germany, and people are often very surprised when they hear that I am.

Do you fit or break a lot of stereotypes?

    I thought I didn’t fit a stereotype, but being a light-skinned male making conversation with the LGBTQ community makes me feel like a basic bro. There’s a little imposter syndrome with it, too.

      I’m really confused about what you’re saying here. Making conversation with LGBTQ individuals names you feel like a light skinned male?

        I mean that, when I’m talking with people from different walks of life in the LGBTQ community, I’m pretty much a basic bitch. And although I’m sympathetic to the struggles of some of my friends in that community, there’s an experiential limit to what I can understand.
