A couple months ago, I made a comment that I am pretty sure upset some of the very liberal people in my artistic community. No one has addressed it with me, but I am paranoid people are talking about it and I have found myself emotionally distancing myself from anyone who I think might know or be friends with people who were there. I basically said that I think it's ridiculous women find their femininity under attack by trans women. I said, sure some white trans women doesn't know the trauma of getting your period in gym class in front of a bunch of white boys (I am not white, was speaking for myself), but why should that personal trauma effect how I see someone's way of defining their own relationship to their femininity (The context was a girl brought up a hate group and  I was trying to point out the ridiculousness of a hate group's logic). Well because i brought up periods, I *think* people got upset, though no one has addressed it with me. Most people just got quiet. I think it was an intense conversation for the girl who brought it up to even start with at a social event, and I definitely see that I should have just kept my mouth shut and maybe her insistence on talking about hate groups would have been the weird part of the night. I keep distancing myself from my community and telling myself they hate me now. I imagine they have told each other about it, as well as the new members. It's been on my mind for two months. I am on a waiting list for DBT services. What's a better way to handle this?
