>>3195062That's specifically about transsexuals, not troons. Transsexual is another word for crossdresser

>>3195051 (OP)personally i don't really think so, instead it's leading vulnerable men into depression and later suicide more than not
the growth of trans pipo is probably unrelated, if i were to guess it would be the general rise in acceptance for the lgbt community (which makes trans more visible, which makes more people troon out)

I think a lot of the talk around "toxic masculinity" is complete nonsense because both sides of the argument completely misunderstand the nature of the word masculinity (please excuse my enlightened centrist fence-sitting).
The left wing use the term incorrectly because they attribute toxicity to all aspects of manhood due to their view of an intersectional power struggle. This is nonsense. The right wing are correct to reject this, but they over-correct and say that all aspects of masculinity are positive. Or rather, they say that the word "masculinity" only applies to traits that are male and positive, meaning that all negative male traits are somehow not masculine. This is nonsense as well.
The truth is, the term "masculine" is quite broad, and does not include a moral judgement. It encompasses all male traits, of both virtue and vice. The way I see it, the proper words to use when making a moral judgement are "manly" and "mannish". Manly refers to that which is both of a man and virtuous, and mannish refers to that which is of a man and evil.
To answer your question, I think there is a proper and healthy way for a man to express his emotions, but it is very different from the way a woman ought to, and certainly not the way that a """therapist""" would advise you to. I think it has more to do with how you internally handle hardship and emotion rather than the extent to which you outwardly express it. Stoicism won btw if that matters.
