cos firstly, big ups trans men, unsung dudes love to see it

secondly, gender as a performance

thirdly, i like how complicated it is. as in, i can see the love and support. but i really disagree about some of the thoughts, the compression, the archetyping. i dont think trans men "having to work for it" makes them better men, and i dont think all trans men are strong and gentle. trans men can and are anything, like anyone else. abusive. dickheads. players. liars. cruel. weak. cowards. etc.

fair, that anecdotally every trans men they've met is a loving-your-wife guy cos that's qualified. but yea, that doesnt mean every trans man. clearly. cos again, people can and are everything.

finally, i dont think men are often described as: alluring.

tho arguably, should be.

again, a compliment meant in kindness.

and yea idk im into calling all men alluring when they are being so

like hey my guy 😏 alluring in your sneaks rn

alluring in those sweatpants

alluring in those shorts

bedhead very alluring

alluring beard

the way your eyebrow twitched? hella alluring

carrying that box? driving that car? idk just how your hands are resting on the steering wheel rn.. alluring

hey can you just walk by me again carrying that shovel? the way you walk is alluring

you look alluring in your winter jacket

look alluring wearing that scarf
