This article critically analyses the relationship between toxic masculinity, both in refugees and local authorities’ imaginary, as a way to behave in order to look or not to look like a gay man. Even the policy makers seem to solve the problem of a sexual orientation ob-jectivity by watching how far is an individual experience from the strictly-binary gender expectations and performativity that societies have chosen for that person. Refugees have to play a lifetime long role not to let people around them down: their bodies and habits are forced into stereotypes; the lack of representation will not help them find a liberation through the world. The comparison between two different cultures will reveal it is just one culture, facing herself after decades.

Abstract

This article critically analyses the relationship between toxic masculinity, both in refugees and local authorities’ imaginary, as a way to behave in order to look or not to look like a gay man. Even the policy makers seem to solve the problem of a sexual orientation ob-jectivity by watching how far is an individual experience from the strictly-binary gender expectations and performativity that societies have chosen for that person. Refugees have to play a lifetime long role not to let people around them down: their bodies and habits are forced into stereotypes; the lack of representation will not help them find a liberation through the world. The comparison between two different cultures will reveal it is just one culture, facing herself after decades.
