Gay male here, and loving every second of it. More than anything though, I think it’s the sense of liberation you get from knowing that, because you’ll never truly fit in with standard heteronormative social roles, you can literally just stop trying to. I don’t have to pretend that I don’t like pop music, or that I care about football, or that I think grilling is the single greatest thing a man can do.
Even as a straight dude ditching that toxic masculinity shit is the best. I’m into theater tech, I like colorful clothing and fun earrings, I like little cars with cute faces, I don’t like coffee and I don’t care much for sports, I like fruity cocktails, and I’ve met plenty of men and women and nonbinary folks who like the same things and are awesome.
My life got 100% better the moment I stopped trying to be a cool man.
