"If you want to be a man or masc you need to be cold, harsh, and emotionally closed off" fuck that!!! Being kind, silly, excitable, gentle, and in tune with one's emotions isn't mutually exclusive with masculinity and that's a terrible thing to tell trans men, transmascs, and butches trying to connect to masculinity.
To be a trans man, transmasc, or butch is revolutionary, particularly those of us who are gentle, sensitive, and kind in face of patriarchal expectations of masculinity. Being soft, sensitive, and kind rules and we always need more gentle and kind people in the world.
