I love when my own community decides my gender expression for me like we all share the same viewpoints and struggles. But a few people are going to reply ‘this is so me frfr’ and ‘I feel personally attacked’ so I get to feel even more alienated

It sucks, but cis women also tend to get boxed into being more feminine. Though, without the denial of womanhood. Either way, I tend to view stuff like that as being treated more like a woman - for better or worse.
i dont know if i understand this. could someone explain pws? 🥺
Okay so it’s my personal experience on this and it’s going to be completely different for everyone. I don’t identify with being a man. So I started transitioning to be more feminine. But I am in an awkward spot where to make sure I am not identified as a man I have to be clearly feminine.
Okay how do I make it more clear. Basically it’s hard to be on the midway point between masc and fem for someone AMAB (I speak for my own experience it could be as hard for AFAB but I don’t know) as you are more likely to be identified as your birth gender. Which can push people to force themselves in a gender identity that is more tolerable than their birth gender (here, woman), but isn’t their actual gender either.
This doesn’t feel like an attack. It feels like the verbalization of a real dilemma that some people face. Am I missing something?
‘attack’ is a hyperbole representation of how one could feel after reading this
I think OP just meant something like “I’m in this picture and I don’t like it” or, “I feel called out” - they just mean they strongly identify with the OOP
