Description
Our Bookseller says:
“As the phrase ‘toxic masculinity’ gets thrown around, what are we to make of masculinity itself—especially, those of us who transition in and out of it during our lifetimes? Do we have to ‘break up with it’ or is it redeemable?
Here, McBee, a trans man, explores all his doubts, questions, tensions, and social implications surrounding his newfound relationship to manhood as he trains for a charity boxing match in Madison Square Garden. It’s part-criticism, part-journalism, part-memoir—a little more like Maggie Nelson’s The Red Parts than The Argonauts. Either way, I wish I had this book much sooner in my life. McBee puts into words the feelings I’ve never been able to articulate. Read and learn how.
Spoiler: it’s refreshing to look at ‘manliness’ as this fluid, beautiful, loving thing in us all. A book not just for men, but everyone.” – Mason
