This was sheer excellence. I was already blown away by that first paragraph where you described your perception of masculinity, but then you just had to blow my mind even more with your navigation of your own perceived femininity. Thank you for such beautiful writing!
Everything in this- from you exploring the paradoxical nature of how you associate with masculinity to how a state of being that is typically supposed to inspire security, really inspires fear. I love how you touch upon the misogyny that you’ve been taught to how your very existence is in defiance of it. More of this honesty. More of this vulnerability. I see your masculinity emerge the strongest
I need more.

Thank you for reading!
I have never learned more about masculinity than reading your first hand account, thank you so much
Thank you for reading and feeling it. We can all learn from each other.
That last paragraph has me lost for words!!! Keep writing because WE need your relatable voice and words!
Thank you!
Anderson, this is beautiful. Like medicine and also a mirror.
Funny you said that -- my work feels like making myself a mirror, often.
I'm glad you've seen something important in it. I think we can all learn from each other. I appreciate your eyes.
My god today this is the most important thing I think I ever read.
I really appreciate this. It means a lot to me.

when you are bravely baring it all. More!
