Maybe there should be "Welcome to manhood!" orientation brochures. They could start with: 1) You're on your own now. You get what you take for yourself, and not a crumb more. 2) Learn to fight. People are going to come at you, and nobody has your back any more.

Maybe part of what's going on here is these people want something like...power, or strength, or autonomy, and they think what they're looking for is the same thing as masculinity. So they're saying to the world, I have this magic power, severed from any context or tradeoffs.

And, well, cargo cults never really deliver the goods, but they're the perfect product for a garbage outlet like Teen Vogue to sell.

At this point I feel compelled to reiterate that I believe people get to decide who they are. But if you're getting your ideas from girls' fashion magazines, maybe 'masculinity' isn't a good fit for you.

I don't understand the thing about trauma from most people in recent times (I don't deny PTSD and similar things). Did it mostly lose its meaning now and people use it quite arbitrary for just most unpleasant thing?
-
A couple of related things. First, the creation of more and more support systems for the traumatized puts a thumb on the scales, in the sense that you can expect more people on the margin to claim the status. Fewer false negatives means more false positives, always.

i read a really interesting article to this effect recently -- a trans man who was basically like "i had no idea it would be like this"
-
I think I saw the same one. Also seen whole transmasc communities cooing girlishly to each other over top surgery selfies. It's very strange. They're men now, but they still act like teenage girls. Like they've never actually *met* any men.

"positive monster"?

I'm in favor of people rebuilding themselves into men, women, dinosaurs, hovercraft, gods, laws of physics, etc. As long as it's voluntary, and as long as they understand the risks. But these particular people are idiots who understand nothing.
