Is it normal to still like being feminine and doing feminine things as a transmasc? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm a transmasc demiboy, but I don't really like to present myself very masculine. I still love wearing skirts, I like painting my nails, even wearing light makeup.

I'm not happy about the idea of having facial hair or a deeper voice, which is why I have not yet started HRT, even though I'll probably need to in some capacity since I do want phalloplasty in the future.

I also have no desire for top surgery since I don't want to lose sensation in my nipples, and I don't want to have scars on my chest. They don't bother me anyway, they're small (about an A cup). Just about the only masculine thing I do is that I cut my hair short, not super short, but still shorter than what would be considered feminine.

Is this normal? Does anyone else have similar experiences? I've been told I don't act enough like a boy and that I need to be more masculine.

I have only recently started to question my gender identity (in the last year or so) so I'm no elder queer but In observing the trans/gender queer community I can say I've seen a fair amount of transmasc that enjoy having a cutesy aesthetic so I'd say it's not crazy out of the ordinary. The most important thing is to be true to yourself and what you want. Dont be something or some way based on anything someone else says you should be.

Speaking directly to your point, I was hanging around a transmasc thread once where i recall a dude was confused as they were feeling dysphoria from the test being too effective. They were getting "too rock hard and beardy and short-tempered". They man they wanted to be was "the cool little funny dude not a wolverine beef boi" and i hope that's where they're at now
