"My [36M] human husband [32M] claims I'm emasculating him???
I wanted to take nice, professional family photos with my human husband, but he made it a big issue. I compromised a lot! I let him wear a tee shirt, I didn't demand he shave, but when he realized the photos would be of us together he started to become uncooperative and make a scene. He claimed photos alongside me would be "emasculating" and "humiliating". I don't quite understand why. He started making such a scene that I am embarassed to admit that I lost my temper and found myself holding him down in a way I know he likes to calm him, and the photos were taken.
I've recieved the photos since, and they're absolutely lovely. But he's demanding I not show them to anyone. Am I not understanding something about human culture? How would photographs of us together be humiliating? I wouldn't want to think he's embarassed by me, but I'm starting to fail to see alternatives..."

Trauma? Given that I don't know anything about him or his upbringing it is highly likely that I'm missing the mark, but queer children growing up in unsupportive households/communities can often become sensitive about their presentation as a sort of defense mechanism. That might be what's going here but with a lack of context of what else was going on at the time their could be another cause. Also, I am a stranger on the internet so do not take anything I say as advice. However, given what you said here it seems like he was being unreasonable.
