The research paper is meant to reflect on the Western masculinity standards of today’s society in a not so traditional way, truckspotting.
To be an outsider of the norm is sometimes hard. How to navigate through the linear when all you want to do is worm around and just be yourself. I would like to offer a guide on "how to masculine" through a queer/trans point of view. Searching for and through extreme forms of masculinity and exploring them from deep within. Hopefully finding out along the way what I find to be so fascinating about the masculine, and why it has always been such a big part of my existence.
