How do you handle it that gay guys are excluded from being guys

its mainly online i feel a strong unconscious urge that telling people im not just a man but a gay man i feel it help people see my point of view better or it adds context or (nuance?) but then on the flipside it teaches myself to believe im different when responding from a male pov. i know i haven't fully dealt with the internalized homophobia which is maybe why i feel this way.

im a gay guy and it seems our sexuality changes the way people preceive our sex. you know theres a difference in peoples minds when you say men or gay men. its mainly online i feel a strong unconscious urge that telling people im not just a man but a gay man i feel it help people see my point of view better or it adds context or (nuance?) but then on the flipside it teaches myself to believe im different when responding from a male pov. i know i haven't fully dealt with the internalized homophobia which is maybe why i feel this way.
