Trying to Be ‘Man Enough’ Is Exhausting!

In this video, I’m getting real about something I don’t think we talk about enough — the pressure to be “man enough,” even after transitioning.

As a trans man, I thought transitioning would bring me peace. And in so many ways, it has. But the truth is… I still catch myself trying to prove something. To sound right. To look right. To perform masculinity in a way that society accepts.

This video isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about speaking to the constant checking, the internalised pressure, and the exhaustion that comes from trying to fit a mould that was never designed for us.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to earn your right to exist — this one’s for you.
Let’s talk about what it really means to be a man. Not by their standards — but by our truth.
