The idea of "toxic masculinity", "toxic feminity", "toxic whiteness" etc. means "the way you are born is not acceptable and you need to be formed into something else". This is not a way to build a society. Don't privilege or punish identities, build shared purpose for all.

This is getting absurd. How could a term encourage such behaviour? It describes a type of behaviour, that stems from a rigid understanding gender. The goal is to name it and discourage it.

Could you point me to evidence that the term successfully converts people exposing toxic behavior, instead of deepening social divides along identities?
