#masculization

He y’all, I’m sorry that I haven’t been on recently. I’ve been busy with weddings, soccer, and little children. I also won’t be on or post anything for “How to Save the World” for another few weeks because I’m getting surgery done on my chest tomorrow and it’ll take me about a month to fully recover. I’m getting nervous for tomorrow’s operation and I’m scared that something’ll go wrong. I know that it’s irrational of me to be scared for tomorrow, but I am.

Masculinization is a broad term, but when we are into LGBTQ+ terms, it often prescribes someone who is fluctuating from an unmasculine gender state to a masculinity. So that “masculinized” or “masculinised” is almost like the polar opposite of “feminized”, “sissification”, “effeminacy” and “neutralized”, someone who is transitioning from non-masc to masc. It’s a subset of GNC (gender non-conforming) and sometimes of transgender too.
