"Be a man" is something we've all heard at one time or another, even a few of the women reading this right now.

So I'm not sure this is the right place to put this, or if it has even been posted already.. sorry if this is wrong! But I saw this the other day and all I could think was FINALLY. It is about time somebody said something about this horrible problem effecting the male population. This whole upbringing is incredibly abusive and harmful to these poor children.. I'm just very happy somebody is talking about it.

To me, that is haunting, even from 50 years ago, before the idea of Trans* was well in my life I remember the times I felt like the treatment of me and other boys was a railroad to hell. Macho vs Mensche.  I still have to sit and just shake from my memories of those years.
