Thoughts on Masculinity

I've been thinking a lot about masculinity and what that means in this is US society.

- How does my masculine presentation impact my daily?

- What does it mean when people read me as a cis-guy?

- What does it mean to be read as a Black man?

- What does it mean when I'm given more space? Physically? When talking?

- What does it mean when I spout some misogynistic bullshit? How does that impact those around me? How is that hurting myself?

- How is my non-binary trans* identity diminished when I'm read as cis?

- How can I stand in solidarity with femme folks?

- How can I continue to decolonise my internalised misogyny when I'm receiving all of these benefits?

Just some thoughts I have....
