Before transitioning, I didn't receive short pat hugs or shake hands; I got deep, long hugs.

    in some ways it’s just the way we are.

    Is it? What makes you think that our loneliness is inherent to us? How is it inherent to us?

      I’m just saying that men in general have a much easier time being alone. I don’t think we should always be alone, but more men than women have the ability to be solitary and happy at the same time.

        What if being solitary and happy has zero foundation in being a “man” but comes about from being rejected by society as the man one is?

          You do realize half of society is men right?

            You mean that other men can’t reject you because you don’t represent their version of an ideal man or what?

            And the other 50% is women, some of whom are solitary and happy because we don’t fit society’s idea of what a woman should be.

            Sit down.

            And the vast majority of pushback I’ve received for trying to change this sort of thing has come from other men. What exactly is your point?
