I think describing any form of masculinity or feminity as “toxic” is a bit of a linguistic trick by the left. It cements the idea that behavior or attitudes are actually a form of poison, which then allows them to ban people for their “toxicity” because it is common sense, right? If something is “toxic”, it is a danger to society and must be regulated.

The word “toxic” used to have an actual meaning. It was used on chemical products that would severely harm a human being if ingested. “Don’t touch that. It’s toxic. Don’t drink that. It’s toxic.” The left turned the word into a metaphor - “don’t say that, it’s emotionally toxic” - but people’s attitude to the word hasn’t shifted psychologically, so it benefits their censorship agenda.

They also did this with “hate” crimes and “words are violence” and a few other linguistic tricks.
