For example, as a gay man, I see it all the time with men in the gay community in how they view their bodies and the value they place on masculinity. So many times I've been rejected by men for being "too fat" or "too feminine." Society essentially has decided being fat or being a woman or feminine is considered weak. We use phrases like "don't be such a girl" or "I indulged over the holidays, but now I'm gonna get back on track". These phrases and ways of thinking just perpetuate societal norms rooted in misogyny. That your value as a person is directly correlated to physical strength and outward appearance. I don't think we can have body shaming without misogyny so the two intersect organically. And being a fat gay dude that likes to wear nail polish and makeup I definitely experience that toxicity from a bunch of different angles.TV trefoil essentials hoodie The story behind âThe One Where No One's ReadyâYears ago, Matt LeBlanctold me about the episode trefoil essentials hoodie OH EM GEE thank you so much! My babe Lauren Lillien did my makeup for the video and she's a makeup genius. She was so collaborative and creative but definitely has her own style that she imprinted into the look. I think when I finally came out of the closet in 2012 is when I started using fashion and beauty as a way to express myself. I went through lots of different phases over the years but my love for anything sparkly and glittery has pretty much always remained. I think what we wear can be such a great tool for self-expression and self-discovery. I honestly didn't know certain things about myself until I put highlighter on for the first time or wore my first pair of heels. I'm a really creative person and I find fashion and beauty to be another extension of my creativity so the fact that I get to make myself happy wearing fun things while also sending across such an important message about breaking down gender norms and stereotypes is so humbling and special to me.TV trefoil essentials hoodie is about Brooke and Molly's best friend, Max.
