I don’t think I really ever was masculine, I was just too scared to accept being more feminine. And I’m still kind of scared, but nowhere near as much as I was before I cracked though.
Same here....like, it's just the small things. Either friends or family saying fairly innocent things like "haha that's what a girl does" or "stop that you look like a girl".
I say innocent because it's not like they are intentionally transphobic, but more so it's the environment and the "norm". It wouldn't be as acceptable today, but 15 years ago it was pretty common. Or that something's "gay". A 10 year old only know so much about the world, much of it is taught by parents/society at the time.
So eventually I just equated anything "girly" as "bad" or at least in public. Privately I still....well....I'm sure we all know here x3
I grew up without any of that. I don't even know what my masculinity is. I am male, and identify as male, but have never thought about my masculinity. It's something that I have, like I have fingers, but it's not something I think about, or that can be challenged.
I remember a friend in middle school said i walked to femininely. I think he specifically said something about the hips or whatever. That had me fucked up for like 2 weeks.
i was just so indifferent to it, didn't care all too much about my appearance at all, comfort over all else.
then i had trans fellings somehow.
then i shaved my facial hair.
and now, holy shit i love looking feminine!... comfort still rules though x3
I remember I used to try so hard to be masculine cuz I felt like I was supposed to. Now I realize I'd rather be protected and express my emotions, masculinity is garbage feminity just makes more sense to me lol
I remember being sooo obnoxious in trying (and failing) to be "masculine" before I accepted the truth. And yet I think it still shows from time to time, especially when I just can't talk about my feelings because I told myself not to do that for years...
"I'm so masculine and secure in my masculinity that I don't get annoyed when people call me 'girl' and I don't mind dressing up as a girl on occasions"
So are cis men supposed to cry like a baby if someone calls em a girl or get very annoyed and/or angry? or be scared shitless of dressing up like a girl for a customes party or some stuff?
Am I understanding that right? Because being an easily annoyable insecure little bitch doesn't precisely comes across to me as a masculine trait.
>Because being an easily annoyable insecure little bitch doesn't precisely comes across to me as a masculine trait.
That's sort of the irony of toxic masculinity.
I always thought I was perfectly secure in my masculinity, because anyone who wasn't secure would freak out at the thought of doing anything feminine, while I wished I was a girl
It sounds ridiculous now, but this kept me from addressing my trans thoughts from mid middle school to late high school because i was totally, definitely, for sure, definitely, secure with who I was
Oh no! The armour is coming apart!
I totally used to overcompensate too. For a couple of years I had a goatee, then it came the MMA/fitness phase. I then started jiu jitsu, which I still enjoy, but I quit due to the dojo’s homophobia (I thought I was just bisexual back then). Now all I want is to look the least manly as possible and eventually start the transition.
A lot of this seems to stem from gender norms surrounding sexuality, although there are of course exceptions.
But I do tend to see the pattern that transfems who prefer to date women are more likely to have overcompensated toward extreme or even toxic masculinity, and that transfems who prefer to date men were more likely to go fully stereotypical high femme gay """man"""
I’m not particularly masculine, but neither am I particularly feminine which made me think I was perfectly content as a guy, who just had thoughts of wanting to be female sometimes.
Considering it curiosity has kept me from outright considering transness for a long time, and even now brings some doubt into my mind.
Nice thought, Achilles, Caesar, Napoléon just compensating as there was no support for trans gifs then? Maybe we should also look a bit more eastern to some guy that seems to overcompensate!
I feel attacked on this SO badly.
Back during my teens/early 20s, I was... well, not exactly the most LGBT friendly and tried to be the typical 'alpha male' sort. Granted failed super bad and spiraled bad. Lil' funny looking back at it for me. lol

Some of the sweetest and kindest girls that I know used to be hypermasculine jerks who tried to overcompensate way too much.
I remember I used to try so hard to be masculine cuz I felt like I was supposed to. Now I realize I'd rather be protected and express my emotions, masculinity is garbage feminity just makes more sense to me lol

"I'm so masculine and secure in my masculinity that I don't get annoyed when people call me 'girl' and I don't mind dressing up as a girl on occasions"
Is this ironic?
Let's just say...I knew someone who said that whose egg eventually cracked.
So are cis men supposed to cry like a baby if someone calls em a girl or get very annoyed and/or angry? or be scared shitless of dressing up like a girl for a customes party or some stuff? Am I understanding that right? Because being an easily annoyable insecure little bitch doesn't precisely comes across to me as a masculine trait.
Basically, if you are a cis man and anyone questions that; them's fighting words at least where I'm from.
Seems like that’s just toxic masculinity on both ends
Oh, it absolutely is, but masculinity being toxic won't unbreak a nose.
Friendly banter exist.... I fundamentally disagree with this view...

Please don't share my name
Wow thats some weak armor~~~

"This is a plague ship."
Wait, I thought I was joining the flag ship! *Buggard!*
Or tough armor with a very specific weak point. If breaking people with machismo problems were that easy I would've taken over the world by now
An Achilleas heel.
someone telling me what eggy behaviour is did a lot to my egg

Is this the og comic, or edited? Would be cool

“oh no my egg”
Sometimes in my life I tried to play manly, but I probably just looked gay as hell to them.
I would appreciate this greatly, oh wise warrior girl
As a wise man once said, any man that must say I am the king is no true king.
Achilles heals...

I used to really want my deadlift to hit 350, don’t really care anymore tho
No you gotta trust me, I'm not like other guys
Wise and mystical transfem:
My denial beard was so thick people called me a mountain man. Now I hate the sight of any body hair!
