I'm AMAB and never felt any other way than masculine. I'm also straight because that's just what I'm attracted to. I was never raised to subscribe to gender roles by my family, and I've never thought people ought to. I know now that gender is a social construct, but I still choose to identify as such because it's just what I am - what I feel to be. I don't think it's all that different to how my trans and NB friends choose to identify; only that society treats me better for it, which is a tragedy.

I don't really feel duped or forced into this. I don't feel unnatural just because how I identify lines up with how I "should" identify according to my country.
