I’ve read many of your posts on various threads, and aside from being quite verbose, they appear to be staunchly “anti masculine” or “anti straight.” Do you believe it’s impossible for a gay male to be authentically masculine?
Forgive me if I’m misinterpreting your stance
No, I don’t think it’s impossible. In fact, it’s quite common. But masculinity is still so highly prized in the “queer community” and at large. So, there’s often an aim to show no kind of “femme” traits. A lot of folks are driven by what they feel will make them most desirable or what will make them fit into the demos they want to fit in with. That’s human nature. Those instincts are often more extreme with dudes who are self workers or resent their queerness. The biggest issue, as I’ve already said, is that so many men who don’t know how to contend with their dimensions, fluidity, contradictions, traumas, insecurities, femininity, masculinity, wherever they are in the gender, sexual, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. And it often leads to personas and cosplay. But yes, a lot of that hyper “bro-masc” stuff from queer men is often a mask. It’s often as mask for even legitimately hetero “straight” guys.
