Expressing Your Masculinity
Gay culture has historically idolized traditional masculinity in the context of societal norms, which includes traits like physical strength, assertiveness, and stoicism. But we must remember that there isn't a single, fixed definition of masculinity. While some embrace traditional concepts of masculinity, others may lean towards more non-conforming presentations. Lately, there has been a growing acceptance of the fact that gender expression and sexual orientation are distinct aspects of identity. In this episode, we're exploring our personal expression of masculinity by answering questions such as: What does masculinity mean to you? What's the difference between toxic masculinity and healthy masculinity? In what ways has societal conditioning shaped how you relate to your own masculinity? How do you express your masculinity?
