In reply to Mr Man.

But gender roles are destructive in themselves. Men are pressured to be tough and hard to a point where they suppress feelings, which causes great amounts of stress. That's probably why the Male suicide rate is more than 3 times higher than Women, well at least here in the US. People should be able to be who they want to be if it's not hurting anyone else. Sorry to hear about your past and glad to hear you're in a good place now, but what worked for you may not work for everyone else. The definition of a Man is not so black and white.
