It's... very sensitive, and the hurt goes deep. Usually I can brush it off but today I couldn't understand what you wanted and what was wrong with what I was offering and it felt like that again. Like all those times I was mocked and insulted because I always failed at being 'masculine' whether I tried or not, so then why try.
Um. I know I don't know you well enough to say but, um.

You remind me of a friend of mine back home. He always tried really hard to follow the rules and do everything right and be honorable and manly and all that, and he did, I really admire and respect him, but he always used to get ... really sensitive about topics like masculinity and sexuality even though he always insisted that he'd never had any problems and he wasn't sensitive at all.
Um. You just... kind of remind me of him because earlier you seemed... very sensitive about masculinity and sexuality for someone who's never actually had any problems with it.
