natei hate "men bad women good" because it also affects children too, what if they transition later? like me? i had to deconstruct so much gender essentialism bullshit just to start taking testosterone and not feel guilty of just being a man instead of a nonbinary-only creature.

I had big major existential worries about my child one day growing up to be a man. Because all we tend to hear about are the terrible ones. The only masculinity we get to hear about is the toxic kind. How do I give not only my kid but ME, TOO, as his parent, positive masculine role models?
Yes, Mister Rogers, but my kid is boisterous and physical, unlike Fred. I had to consciously find active, strong, loud, positive masculine role models to put my mind at ease.
