When we launched Good Enough, we built it around q***r men in Scotland. But since the call-out went live, we’ve been hearing from men across the UK who recognise themselves in this work and want to share their story too.
So we’re opening it up.
If you're a gay, bi or trans man anywhere in the UK and something here connects, the masking, the performing, the years of managing who you let people see, we want to hear from you.
Do you have a story about...
The exhaustion of watching yourself all evening, your laugh, your hands, whether anyone could tell?
A moment your body relaxed because you were finally around people who knew?
The version of yourself you built for work, for family, for the world, and what it cost to maintain?
A rage that had nowhere to go, or came out sideways, or turned inward?
The first time someone saw you clearly, and what that felt like?
Something you carried for years that you've never quite said out loud?
You don't need to answer any of these directly. They're just doors. If one opens something, follow it.
Share your story online, written or as a voice recording. A few sentences is enough. You don't need to be in Scotland. You don't need to be a writer. You just need something true.
