"Masc" or "masculine" are terms used to describe qualities, characteristics, behaviors, or expressions that are traditionally associated with masculinity or being male. Masculine traits may include qualities such as strength, assertiveness, confidence, independence, and leadership. In the context of gender identity, "masc" or "masculine" can refer to individuals who align with or embody these traditional masculine characteristics. However, it is important to recognize that masculinity is not limited to any specific gender and that people of all genders can express masculine traits. Embracing masculinity can be a way for individuals to express their gender identity authentically and explore the diverse range of gender expressions beyond traditional norms. It is essential to respect and affirm the identities of individuals who embrace masculinity.
