As always, respect my trans homies or I make your pronouns was/were.

Patriarchy is bad for everybody. Some worse than others definitely, but for men there’s always the expectation to be “man enough” because anything not masculine is bad.
While I’ve never been one to exhibit toxic masculinity, I have had to make effort over the years to not feel embarrassed when exhibiting less “manly” traits. If I am watching a sad movie I try to remind myself that I don’t have to resist the urge to cry; it is okay to experience emotions.
I am a full ass adult and I bring my lunch to work in a Fallout lunch box because that is a hell of a lot more fun than worrying that my “manhood” is going to fall off if I’m not careful. I fully support trans people because “gender norms” are fucking stupid anyway.
