SO many people are messaging me about how “boy and man are different genders” rings true to them!

Do we think it’s because “boy” is a way for trans people to enjoy elements of masculinity without the full baggage of toxic emotional suppression and patriarchy? 🧐🥸
When I say “enjoy elements of masculinity,” I’m definitely not saying that all trans boys are Traditionally Masculine! Most of my favorite boys are faggy as hell. In fact, I’m arguing that “boy” is a way to sidestep compulsory masculinity. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
important points being made in the comments about race being an important element in this discussion. not really my place to talk about that but i have a lot of uh, thoughts and guesses, and am (as always) most interested in hearing what non-yt folks have to say.
i willllll say that "enjoy elements of masculinity without the full baggage of toxic ... patriarchy" is not necessarily a 100% positive thing. you can't uwu your way out of being complicit in oppression, you know? lol.
