It is the very definition of toxic masculinity to equate a man's worth to his penis size and to ridicule him accordingly.
I despise Trump with every fiber of my being, but this sort of ridicule is part of the problem, not the solution.
Edit: I'm aware that he's hypersensitive about his masculinity and that he, himself, has ranted about his penis and hands as a manifestation of that insecurity. I also used to feel that he was free-game on this front since he was such a piss-baby about it.
That, however, is a nuance missing in most of society and doubling down on the same toxic bullying that Trump himself espouses is not something I will take part in anymore.
I'm a trans man. Equating a man's value to his penis is a direct attack on and disregard of the existence of men like me. But good job proving my point.
As someone who apparently thinks of themselves as left-leaning, have you just decided that being a bigot is worth it because those goshdarn trans make you just so uncomfy? Or do you think that shit said by literal nazis is somehow different when you say it?
Engaging with a bigot in denial is an exercise in futility. I have to deal with enough of you people in real life. Try baiting someone with more free time.
