Dylan Mulvaney

I don't know if I'm the one.

I don't know much about that community.

But I do know twinks.

And this is what I know is that twinks sometimes get like the worst of it because I think in gay culture, so many men still really pride themselves on being overly masculine and almost like –

proving their sort of dominance but also like the way that they can conform to like what society's idea is of like an ideal straight man they're also trying to do that for each other and for the world and so i was this like small kind of gawky uh gay kid that still did not feel um uh

And I think that was like another piece of that felt so good when I transitioned was I was like, oh, I don't have to be trying to live up to those expectations, which were also exhausting in a lot of ways.

And I didn't know that.

When I transitioned, the stakes were going to get even higher as far as how I was going to have to present myself.

But it was... So I basically hung up my twink card.

And justice for twinks.

I will just say there are many twinks in this world who are not trans women that, you know, that will live their life as twinks.

And then who knows what they will go on to in their after twink life.

But...

I felt so good to kind of hang my twink shoes up.

Oh, my God.

Twinks are my favorite people in the world.

Yes.

It's like toxic masculinity in gay culture.

I mean, I still see it in my generation less than I think a bit because I'm on that millennial cusp.

So I feel like I connect with the younger audiences, especially because of social media.
