i enjoyed this! as i already told geo, mcbee's prose really works for me. he's a journalist by trade and you can tell because of how clear, detailed, and elaborate he writes without being overly flowery, or without being pretentious/fake deep the way some nonfiction writers can be. however, i did find it to be repetitive at points, and he references quite a bit a researcher (who shall not be named) that i don't particularly respect. also he says most anyone can run a mile in under 11 minutes which i find personally offensive

A few interesting reflections on what masculinity is, but nothing too special. Maybe recommendable for young transmasc adults.
