“TALKING TO PEOPLE  WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN ME MAKES ME REFLECT UPON MY OWN EXPERIENCE”

Noah Schmitt

“​I think I see it reflected in other people. Talking to people who don’t identify as men or who have a different relation to their gender than me makes me reflect upon my own experience. For example, a friend of mine is transitioning at the moment. Seeing this process really makes me reflect on my place as a man and how easy I have it as a cisgender man in this world and think about those who do not fit this image of masculinity and manhood.”
