What if embracing the gender spectrum could make you a better man? In this episode, host Tim Wienecke — therapist, veteran, and men’s advocate — breaks down how to show up in gender-diverse spaces without shutting down or taking over.

You’ll learn:

  • Why gender isn’t just identity politics — it’s personal
  • How masculine traits got confused with toxicity
  • Five practical rules to avoid being the asshole in non-masculine spaces
  • Why being a “good guest” and a “good host” matters more than ever

Whether you're navigating new social spaces, trying not to get canceled, or just want to be a better friend, partner, or leader — this conversation gives you grounded tools to move with clarity, respect, and confidence.

Leave shame at the door. Bring curiosity instead.

The American Masculinity Podcast™ is hosted by Timothy Wienecke — licensed psychotherapist, Air Force veteran, and men’s advocate.
Real conversations about masculinity, mental health, growth, and how men can show up better — as partners, leaders, and friends.
We focus on grounded tools, not yelling or clichés. If you have questions or want a tool for something you're wrestling with, leave a comment or send a message — your feedback shapes what we build next.
Note: While this doesn’t replace therapy, it might help you notice something worth exploring.
