    This reminds me of something: it does really suck that we can’t offer any insights on how to improve toxic masculinity. Like, we might have lived needing to conform to it for a long time, but our way out of those expectations wouldn’t work for actual men. It really does need to be cis and trans men leading the charge, because we certainly can’t.
