Hey, If You Genuinely Believe That Men Are Trash, If You Really Think That Men Cant Love As Deeply And

Hey, if you genuinely believe that men are trash, if you really think that men can’t love as deeply and as authentically as women, if you think that women are inherently better than men in any way, if you think men deserve any less love and compassion and kindness than women, or if you think that men should be excluded from body positivity and forms of support,

I’m really sorry you haven’t had good men and boys in your life. I’m sorry that something happened to you that made you believe these lies. I’m really sorry. But saying these things is untrue, hurtful, unkind, and cruel.

Boys and men can be as good and kind and loving and worthy as women. Full stop.

Hot take but like…. trans people like don’t have to disclose that they are trans if they don’t want to. Trans people can work with you, be friends with you, and yes, even flirt with you, and not have to tell you they are trans. Our existence doesn’t require a full disclosure agreement.

Hey anyway, men are wonderful. Masculinity is wholesome and good. Men are kind, and warm, and caring. Masculinity is calm and protective. Men love, and love from, or for men, is valuable and stabilizing. 

Love men for being men, not because they are good “in spite of” manhood. Love masculinity for being masculine, not because it is only acceptable this time.

Validate your local transmasc, and intersex men, your local gay and bi men, your local men of color, your local neurodivergent and disabled men. They are wonderful because they are men/masculine, not in spite of it.
