If you date trans and enby people but you're solidly cis, you still think about gender a lot, just with a primarily binary lense. And still living with expectations from society you started out with.

In other words, I think about it because I want to be a man and I want to be masculine, but I want to be some good and great and better version of it.

i think about it a lot because (i) I see other people maybe struggling with it and so its important, (ii) I read a bunch of Crowley and now i see gender binary as a fundamental feature of everything, like fire and water or the quality of the number twenty-three

It's there, and non-binary stuff is there, and in-betweens too. A little of this, a little of that. Just as many people like to be inside and outside of the binary.

I feel like binary men are unintentionally ignored, left to figure it out for themselves. Just from the spotlight shining away from them while also the spotlight is on toxic masculinity. But not much guidance towards something positive.

And a bit if internalized toxic masculinity. Old habits. People expecting men to figure it out for themselves. Some as a reaction to trauma, people expecting men to be trouble. I don't think the neglect is malicious.

oh naw me either for the most part I think there's a big element of lost masculinity from absent adult men schools are a pretty deeply feminine place compared to what i imagine nearly all historically childhood/adolescent environments were not much opportunity to learn there

I'd say schools are just a fucking void. They're lacking for everyone.
