I just read Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue

And

spoilerI think I'm a masculine woman? Now that I'm a few years into my transition and I'm feeling comfortable in my skin, I realize I kind of like my broad shoulders and husky voice and the muscles I've grown from factory labor. But but I also really like wearing makeup and accessories and being ma'am'd and and my new name and stuff. I don't necessarily want to be androgynous, but I also don't hate it? It's kinda fun when people get confused.

So, yeah.

I think that's why I took "too long" to stop using the men's restroom. I never felt uncomfortable using a urinal.

    Sometimes i see models that break gender down a bit further than Feinberg does and differentiate between gender role and gender presentation. I like to dress femme, but i also like to act butch, and that works well for how i view my way of doing gender.

    Shout out to feeling comfortable in your skin, exploring presentation and having fun wirh it.

    i wear makeup and I kept my srrength up, I dress however I want with no real rules. Being agender I spent ages trying to figure out myself and I love being in that void space where I can present however I want.

    enjoyed reading and happy for you <3
