On trying to be a straight, cis dude that doesn't suck

I am not in any sort of marginalized group, but I try to be an ally. I don’t really have the ability to speak for trans people or people in the LGBTQ+ community, but I can speak to my own struggles with both toxic masculinity and trying to develop something better. So that’s what today’s podcast is about.

Consider donating to the Trevor Project, which supports LGBTQ young people.

I’d love to hear anyone’s take on how straight, cis dudes can be better allies, get more vulnerable, more capable of handling emotions, and better at building their own communities of support in the comments! They are open to all today.
