Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Introduction to Nontoxic Male. I’m going to be talking about the joys and challenges—and sometimes heartbreaks—of raising my kids…hovering somewhere between being the default parent and a coequal partner—as well as what it means to be a coequal partner—in a blended, multiracial family with some of us on the LGBTQ spectrum. I’ll talk about my struggles trying to balance being a work-from-home parent. About the effects of patriarchy from a male perspective—or at least a gentle (or nontoxic) male perspective. About my journey as a newly-diagnosed neurodivergent and the unique experience I’ve had learning about that—and how I am using what I learn to parent my children—or trying to, anyway. We’ll be navigating faith and spirituality a bit together, and for that I promise far more questions than answers. And I’ll be weaving in issues like mental and emotional health, equality, patriarchy (as I already mentioned), gender roles and identity, and social justice.
