Mindful Masculinity

"Mindful masculinity means that you define what kind of man or masculine person you want to be. You do so with intention and thoughtfulness."

-Rocco Kayiatos

I don't see a lot of posts about how to be a man in a healthy, non-toxic way. So, I'm making them.

[queer-and-neurodivergent]

Just quietly appreciating male friendships in media where the characters are allowed to be vulnerable and openly affectionate with one another and it’s validated by the framing of the narrative rather than mocked.

*TBC, it’s totally awesome if you ship any of these characters (I myself am very prone to Logurt), I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that majority of the time in media (or at least in western media), writers & execs still shy away from letting male characters be tender with each other because sincerity is for girls.

Feel free to add on more characters!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: If you're a man -whether you've been one all your life or just recently started to notice within yourself the need to become one- that's enough.

You don't have to pass a test, there is no quiz, you don't have to check a minimum amount of gender role boxes. No one can tell you HOW to be a man. It doesn't matter how you look or how your body looks, how you talk, how you act, how you behave, what your sexuality is. You don't even have to fit in with the other guys. If being a man feels right for you, you can say "This is me and I'm a man".

The gender police will never knock on your door. Your gender is your own business and no one else's. No one can tell you what a man can or can't do. There is no wrong way to be a man. Be the kind of man you want to be, the kind that sparks joy. You can do it, bro. I believe in you.

If you’re queer was the first label you identified with the one you’re currently identifying as?

i love cis people cause when i say “when i used to be a girl…” they go “mhmm…. but also….. you’ve ALWAYS been a man” okay ur very sweet but actually i was a weird girl in middle school and you need to know that to understand my personality today

When I was a kid I was “darn I just love when female characters pretend to be dudes for whatever reason” and the reason will not shock you in the slightest

Christ without HRT is just cis.

Trans Jesus confirmed

[queer-and-neurodivergent]

Hey btw if you’re worried about starting HRT in your 20s or later bc you’ve already gone through puberty and you think it’s too late:

It’s not too late, I promise. I started testosterone a couple of weeks before my 27th birthday and after only four months, I am starting to pass. If I’m wearing a binder, nobody can really tell. I’ve been using men’s bathrooms with no incident and strangers call me sir.

Obviously my experience is just my own and there are no guarantees, but don’t assume that it won’t work for you. And frankly, passing aside, the comfort and joy I feel in my body these days is well worth it.

If your primary concern about starting HRT is thinking it’s too late: ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME MORE YOURSELF!!!!

i worry about this 😢

the craziest thing about being transmasc or a trans man is that people LOVE to say you’re gonna look ugly, gonna turn ugly etc. and personally for a while i bought into this nonsense. but one day i decided fuck it, decided to transition and you know what happened? i still retained the most handsome parts of the person i was before. but i looked happier. i looked more beautiful, more handsome, prettier, stylish, hot. because i finally looked like me & so much happier and confident. anyway, this is just to say - go transition dude, if you’re hesitating. you will only look even more handsome & beautiful, fuck their propaganda.
