Redefining Masculinity features transgender men reflecting on masculinity, gender identity, and the ways trauma has shaped their lives. The conversation highlights how traditional definitions of masculinity often exclude or stigmatize trans men, while also silencing their experiences as survivors of violence. By sharing their stories, the speakers broaden the understanding of what it means to be male-identified and a survivor, challenging narrow cultural norms that link masculinity with stoicism or dominance.
