Shopping with cishet men is exhausting because
"I can't get that bag because it looks like it's for women even though it's exactly what I need"
And
"I can't get that wallet because it has zippers so it looks like a wallet for women"
In a store marketed exclusively for men.
Do yall even hear yourselves?
@guerrillarain masculinity confirmed bullshit
@guerrillarain are you subtooting your bae?
@meena HA! Thank god no.
@guerrillarain I used to be like that before I came out as trans. I was so deep in denial that I had a fear of doing anything that appeared at all feminine(with a few exceptions where I got up the courage to not give a fuck).
Heh.
Am a cishet dude who refuses to use fussy neologisms for the smaller (and yes, zippered) bags I like to use.
It's a purse, goddamnit.
Maybe the preferences I have in styles, and thus brand, are toxic masculinity, I don't know.
@deejoe @guerrillarain likewise here. I was asking my wife about this, and she looked at me and said “I don’t think you care at all what people think” 🤔
@guerrillarain I know. It’s so crazy. :-(
@guerrillarain Masculinity is solely based on the fear of looking like a girl.
