The most masculine men are queer.
Masculinity is the kind of strength that comes from owning softness. From refusing to perform cruelty just to be called a man.
Look no further than Tom of Finland for the height of masculinity.

The American West was a safe haven for people who didn’t fit back East — women living as men, queer folks passing as cowhands, gender nonconformity wrapped in denim and dust.

Deborah Sampson disguised herself as a man to enlist under the name Robert Shurtleff during the Revolutionary War. While some call it "cross-dressing for duty," many today understand her to be transmasc or nonbinary.

In WW2 thousnads of women joined the WAC and WAVES - these programs became known as safe havens for gender non conforming women.
For many, it was the first time they could wear pants and live outside heteronormative expectations.

~50,000 blue discharges were issued - a dishonorable discharge for gays. Many of them were discharged in SF - with their IDs marked forever. Since they could not hide it, SF became a safe haven

Trans and gender-diverse people have always existed — not just in hidden corners, but in temples, courts, theaters, and communities.
They were shamans, priests, warriors, and leaders. The binary is not ancient — but the diversity of gender is.
