You want to know why? Check out Behind the Bastards two parter on Reinhard Heydrich, noting his time running the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) in Berlin. TL;DL Heydrich eventually just made a list of people the party didn’t like (based on what he didn’t like) down to transients, people with mental illness, and people with jobs he didn’t approve of.
This is not our first rodeo.
That’s me.
I mean I still have an [M] on my ID card and have the usual boy-bits and features, but I never really cared — or fit in — when I was expected to do well in sports or defend myself against bullies. I always wondered why dudes were expected to wear drab or identifiable sports colors, or the same uniform tuxedo.
But today I am not a man. Man-null. The boolean opposite of man. Enby or agender when I can tick those boxes.
I’ve long turned in my proverbial man card.
The definitions of manhood I had as a kid turned out to be simple adulting by the 90s (everyone is expected to do accounting and housework and late shifts). Everyone not in the ownership class (or their police contingent) are expected to act maturely and be responsible.
Exemplars of men include Donald J. Trump, Matt Walsh, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate…
…my MAGA loyalist, FOX-news–watching father.
I want to be as unlike these guys as I can.
I have no gender.
