Not in a patriarchal way of wanting more rights, but wanting to be them. When I see men who dress and act like old-timey gentlemen or see feminine men, I want to be like them.
When I picture my ideal self, I picture a taller, more scrawny-looking guy who’s into alternative fashion.


Be your best self, and if your best self presents more masculine, so be it. You can be cis, heterosexual, fully identify as female, and rock a masculine persona. Personally, I have a very weak spot for women like that, and I am far from alone. Don’t let anything deter you from getting comfortable in your own skin.
