    Just waiting for the day when someone can explain to me what makes a man a man without describing skills, qualities, and actions that anyone can do regardless of gender.

    And don’t tell me it’s “have a penis”, because if that were true then effeminate men wouldn’t be insulted all the time for not being “real” men, and there wouldn’t be toxic masculinity.

      Gender is a social construct that is, gladly, starting to fail.

      I hope that in some years people would stop refering to having any gender, and they’ll just have the social behavior they’d like best when they like it best. And will only discuss their sex when it’s medically relevant.

      Idk, but i feel like it’s just being who you are and respecting yourself.
      Same as a woman being a woman.
      Anyone that’s confident in who they are isn’t going to care or announce it.

      All the blustering either way is just yelling “im a grown ass man/woman!” outside of a grocery store at 1 am.
