22-year-old Brandon is a TikToker who has garnered 51k followers at the time of writing this. His content usually consists of satire on our daily life in Singapore. Brandon also runs a small bakery shop online in his free time.
Brandon believes masculinity is inherently fine, but what is wrong with it is that society has spun it into something that it's not to the point where masculinity is used to benchmark guys against one another.
He states that we shouldn't confine ourselves to what society has molded us to believe. Though he does not feel the need to be androgynous for the sake of being androgynous hence his straight passing appearance, this belief can be seen from the freedom of his choice in the activities that he participates in such as pole dancing and baking, both of which are activities that have feminine connotations.
“Our self perception at the end of the day is very much tied to how society views us. I feel like we shouldn't constrain ourselves to whatever society has taught us”
"For example, blue is for boys and pink is for girls. It's almost like we are like a chip that is being programmed and ultimately the onus is on us to be who we want to be."
