Toxic masculinity is more than a buzzword.Toxic masculinity is part of the gender training we receive starting in childhood, where we learn the rules about how to be a man or a lady. Man up. Boys don't cry. And it hurts all of us.Toxic masculinity is a narrow and repressive description of manhood and frankly, I'm surprised more men aren't pissed about it.What does that have to do with raising a transgender child?Toxic masculinity can manifest in many ways and have a profound impact on your children. It can show up in the ways we talk to our kids, the expectations we place on them, and the way parents and kids perceive gender and gender identity. And it can lead to feelings of shame and internalized transphobia.Which is why today I'm talking with Rocco Kayiatos about toxic masculinity, how it shows up and impacts our children, what we can do to reeducate ourselves and our children about what it means to be a man, and how embrace mindful masculinity.Rocco Kayiatos is a musician, poet, actor, and activist. His work centers around gender identity, queer liberation, and social justice. Rocco's artistry and activism have gained national attention and made him a leading voice in the transgender community. He has brought his powerful message to stages across the country and uses his platform to inspire and empower others to embrace their true selves.Check out the full episode to hear about:Rocco's evolution as a performer, publisher, and activist and why it's so important to create inclusive spaces and model possibilityHow Rocco went about uprooting his own toxic ideas about masculinity and let go of being a “man-hating man”Why Rocco says the goal should be to expand our definitions of gender, identity, and expression with compassionHow cultural assumptions about what it means to be a man can make trans men shy away from claiming their full identity as menHow a rejection of perceived femininity can lead to expressions of toxic masculinity in trans boysHow parents can start interrogating how toxic masculinity shows up for them and expand their ideas about genderFind out more about Rocco Kayiatos:Instagram: @roccokatastropheConnect with Rocco on LinkedInFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramResources:Mindful Masculinity WorkbookSummer 365

When Amos Mac and Rocco Kayiatos first launch Original Plumbing in 2009, they created a magazine the world desperately needed: a creative and celebratory biannual publication about trans men, by trans men. For ten years, OP was an inspired response to the lack of meaningful representation of trans lives and culture. Each issue was filled with gorgeous, moving, hilarious, and sexy narratives that pushed back against marginalizing stereotypes. Taken together, these stories met mainstream media’s violence with self-love, dismissal with determination, and repression with resistance. Collecting the best of the magazine’s entire twenty-issue run, Original Plumbing: The Best Ten Years of Trans Male Culture (Amethyst Editions, 2019) is a remarkable full-color archive that includes interviews with trailblazers like Janet Mock and Silas Howard; cutting-edge artwork and photography; mediations on love, relationships, and family; political essays and personal reflections; and much, much more.

In today's episode, Alexandra speaks with Rocco Kayiatos!Rocco Kayiatos is an expert in content, brand and community building. He is an award-winning leader in the tech and media space, creating training programs, content in all forms and formats and building loyal communities around a brand. He is currently Chief Content Officer at FOLX Health and has held leadership positions at Grindr and BuzzFeed. Rocco is hailed as the first openly transgender man to put out an LP (2003). He is the founding editor of the world's first trans male quarterly print journal, Original Plumbing Magazine, and co-editor of Original Plumbing: The Best of Ten Years of Trans Male Culture (Feminist Press, 2019), writer and editor of The Mindful Masculinity Workbook: A Practical Guide To Healthier Masculinity. He is the proud co-founder and director of Camp Lost Boys, the first sleep-away summer camp exclusively for adult men of trans experience.In this episode, you'll discover:Rocco's reflections around making yourself accessible by putting yourself out there on different platforms, and how it can be dismantling and confusing, if you don't also put up clear boundaries for yourself around that.Ideas around being on the frontier or the beginnings of a new idea, cultural movement, or zeitgeist, and how you don't necessarily always get the credit, or the acclaim for doing so, but how that work lays down the groundwork for other, larger, more mainstream movements to come in and take up space in our culture.Thoughts around our culture's current views around masculinity, how important it is to heal with our relationship to masculinity, and how we are missing spaces in our culture today where men can gather, heal, and connect together.Ideas around cancel culture and how it's actually very binary - black or white, bad or good - and how that's doing us a huge disservice today at a time where we are trying to become more inclusive, accepting, and understanding as a society at large.And so much more!Grab your copy of The Mindful Masculinity workbook here and the Original Plumbing book here.Wanna work with Rocco?
