So he’s saying he’s a proud, boy?
Hey look, it’s the inspiration for Hank Hill’s body proportions
Just think about the sad, long life of Janet… This man’s first cousin and long time beard that microwaves his Hormel chili each night.
If he’s proud of fucking a man, that’s fine. Weird way to write it, though.
Is that a gift shop? Like where they sell fancy-looking jams and scented candles?
It is a Cracker Barrel. Restaurant with a gift shop. You checkout at the counter that is in the gift shop section.

This all makes complete sense now. Thank you!
He got tired of people not knowing he was a male I guess
The biggest offense here is calling something without sleeves a jacket
Call him “ma’am” and see how upset he gets when you misgender him
Hmmm, on the other hand, he’s a fragile man child with a gun, and historically that goes bad for people with my complexion.
That narrow-hipped man’s blouse says, “Yeah I suck dicks, but I spits out the cum cuz I ain’t gay brother!!!”
Men☕🤣
Thats a lot of words just to say “I’m a dumbass”
If homosexual people have rights to publicly say that they’re ‘homosexual’ then why not him.
Absolutely he should have the right to say it. Is it cringe to announce loudly that you’re part of the social default unprompted? Also yes.
That’s the beauty of free speech.
Government can’t censor him for an opinion.
However I can sure as hell ridicule the living shit out of someone advertising how insecure and weirdly aggressive about being an incel they are without the government censoring my opinion.
I support this man’s man-love!
Freedom to speak.
Freedom to be judged a fragile moron.
Wheres the issue?
He has the right.
And everyone else has the right to laugh at his insecurity.
So according to you homosexual people march on the street with their rainbow flag because of their insecurity?

Absolutely, overcoming the literal insecurity of beatings and persecution by police and others is literally the origin story of Pride.

Of course, that was actual insecurity, as in with possible death etc as an outcome. This is just the guy in OP being a snowflake, and what’s on the back of his vest actually says “He/Him” just in more words. 😁
No law against being a snowflake, but just like you have the right to mock Pride parades, we can all mock him.
And there’s still very little security for queer people in this world.
You’re trying really hard to have a fight. Let’s see if it works out for you.
No one’s trying to fight. You said something and I questioned it on the basis of your statement.
No you didn’t, you equated pride marches with an edgy shirt.
Rainbow hat, rainbow t-shirt, rainbow scarf, these are also edgy?
I’ll let you ruminate on that.
Well, my fellow cephalopod fan, octopus_ink seems to have answered your question quite well. I guess you should respond to them instead of me.
I have some unsurprising news for you. 😉
I just checked before I read your comment. And you are correct, I was not surprised.
As if the truck nuts weren’t a clue.
Gender-affirmimg truck surgery
can someone explain?
The shirt is using an aggressive tone, which is inferring the person wearing is someone who would complain about “those damn libs and their pronouns.”
But even with the aggressive tone, the shirt is letting us know that which pronouns he uses.
As a man, I have never been “proud” to be a man, I mostly feel ambivalent about it, it is who I am, I’d rather be proud about my actions than my gender.
No one should be proud of a demographic quality like race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. You should be proud of accomplishments .
Same. I’m no more proud of being a man than I am proud of having a nose.
You weren’t born with that nose, it’s a lifestyle choice
But what a fine nose it is.
I worked hard to achieve my nose as it is today.
In case you get any odd responses, while many people use ambivalent to mean they don’t care, it actually means you have contradictory feelings, i e., you are both for and against something.
Which is true, there are parts I like about being a man, and there are parts I dislike about being a man.
In general I am comfortable
Which is true, there are parts I like about being a man, and there are parts I dislike about being a man.
…and these days there is probably some specialized label to describe that that isn’t merely “man” because that would be too easy.
It’s degrees. Some may really enjoy parts of their masculinity and other may be really uncomfortable with parts of their masculinity. Some may have so much apathy toward their masculinity that they prefer to avoid the label of man because, though that may most adequately describe them from the outside, they have no desire to apply that label to themselves. The concept and performance of gender is a hodgepodge of various qualities that are complicated, often contradictory, and dependent on tons of external factors.
Those labels are there to assist people while they engage with the nuances of one of the most intrinsic and complex qualities of our subjective experiences in life. It’s messy, but it’s also beautiful that more people are inspecting their lives on such a fundamental level and practicing self determination.
Man is a perfectly fine label for many, but others may not have the same opinion about the term despite sharing similar feelings to OP and many of the people in this thread; and there’s something uniquely human about that which is worth exploring
This. I think it’s kinda ridiculous to be proud of something you haven’t done anything for. I’ll much rather be proud of the thing I did than about shit like where I’m born or as what I’m born.
The only time I would say that doesn’t apply is when you’re part of a traditionally marginalized group. Black pride, or queer pride or indigenous pride all make sense to me. Because it’s a collective pride thing more than an individual pride thing.
And in that case I think it’s best to think of the pride as coming from the action of resilience. When the term gay pride first appeared it was controversial but the argument was that society had been telling us to be ashamed for so long and we weren’t going to take it anymore and in fact we’ll be proud to be queer instead. And I maintain that if queer phobia had stopped before I grew up it would definitely be very emotionally different, because there’s also the pride of just being different from the norm. You can see that in stuff like in people who are proud to be a redhead or people who are proud of the area they come from but aren’t anymore (I’m planning to move out west and I’m already noticing myself get more Midwestern in anticipation).
I will make no secret about how I don’t really understand transgender people, it used to annoy me, but since about a year or two ago I realized that it doesn’t matter to me, and it apparently matters a lot to them.
So I stopped caring enough to be annoyed, I realized that if they are happy and it doesn’t hurt others, then I have no reason to make their day worse.
To all trans people, I may not understand what you feel, but I will not be a dick about it, my confusion is my own issue and I will do my best to not make it yours.
I wish more people were okay with not understanding other people or what they do to express themselves and their identity, but accepting them regardless, so you have my commendations.
People way into body piercing confuse me, but if that’s your thing, go for it. As long as you are doing what makes you comfortable in your own body, that’s the important part.
Thank you, you are very kind, I try to be a decent person
Everything that I was about to write were already written, what I’m supposed to comment now??
