There is nothing toxic about masculinity and the term “toxic masculinity” wielded as a blunt instrument against all men is dysfunctional application. Masculinity serves a variety of purposes. You might as well say femininity is toxic and then segue into the “non-binary is the only non-toxic way to be” statement of conjecture.
People either meet each other’s erotic needs or they don’t; regardless of their labels (straight, bi, queer, whatever). People who overly fixate and give greater weight to someone’s labels, instead of the person standing in front of them, not only diminish that person they diminish themselves.
You’re either attracted or you’re not. You’re either willing to step up and negotiate mutually acceptable terms of engagement, or you’re not. You’re either willing to give and/or receive pleasure or you’re not. The only labels that apply are this person is dangerous or safe. The rest are irrelevant contrivances designed to satisfy power, control and/or egoism.
Toxic masculinity my ass.
