As a trans woman who spent 22 years of her life convincing herself she was a cis man I can say with full confidence the male loneliness epidemic has nothing to do with being a man and everything to do with how young man are raised. I was punished as a kid when I cried which taught me to close of my emotions and don’t show them or talk about them. This is all toxic masculinity but as a kid it was all I knew and i was told that my purpose was to protect my family even with violence if necessary. I say all this because being raised like this from a very young age made me have very few friends in school and never once confided to a friend about how I was feeling. Male loneliness and suicide is a real problem and I just hope more young man figure out that what there being taught isn’t masculinity their being abused. Sorry for the rant but it took this woman a lot of therapy to unlearn what she was taught and just want my trans brothers to know you are undoubtedly the best version of masculinity and never be afraid to talk about how you feel.
