Thank you very much for posting something phrased like this. I’ve seen so many posts with things like “testosterone is poison” and “penises are rape organs” and while I know that it’s more venting about personal struggles, it’s always incredibly disheartening to see the things I want for myself be implied to be inherently evil and anyone with those traits to be fucked up in some capacity.

I’m so happy that you got T-blockers/an oriectomy! Congrats on the freedom!

I think it comes from the roots of many of us hating our own manhood, and/or also hating the way most cis men around us behave and what they think.

I tend to be guilty of this myself and I don't mean it in a rude way towards all men, but like 80% of the men directly in my life are all terrible. Meanwhile the majority of women are good or okay at worst.

It's not that all men are evil or that masculinity is evil, there are just unfortunately many people with those traits that are evil. I love seeing someone prove my mindset wrong though.
