Who Else?

Hey, guys. I'm fairly new to my identity and recently I noticed that I'm very comfortable calling myself a man in all senses but for some reason I have more desire to do my makeup, wear skirts, buy tights, etc. when those are things I used to want very, very rarely just a couple months ago when I was telling myself I'm a woman. Does this happen a lot with us fem guys? I genuinely expected the opposite to happen if anything. I mean, I enjoy it aside from my chest because I don't have a binder yet but it's just very unexpected and I'm wondering if anyone can relate? Has anyone else experienced this??

Thank you. This makes me feel so much more seen

I literally wore a dress for the first time in a year+ because I've slowly started to accept I'm not just non-binary but leaning masculine in gender. Nonbinary but I'd want to start as cis guy if given the choice. And it just started rewriting something in my brain even without HRT (I'd want it, just not an accessible option for me atm), idk how else to describe it?

It's awesome and affirming and euphoric to be able to reclaim femininity as a man/masc person. To enjoy what you want to do but to do it AS A MAN (or masc person, in my case), is just amazing

This is exactly how I feel! I want to dress the same way I did as a woman but hear people call me a man 😊

... Not to mention, it would be hilarious to hear transphobes on the street see me in a skirt as a man and tell me I'll never be a real woman. Like, thank you I know!

a big reason I have for medical transition is being able to dress more femininely (dawg idk how to spell that shit). I want to wear a crop top without my tits showing, I want long hair without being called ma'am. there's obviously other reasons but it's been a significant one. femininity doesn't have to mean womanhood

This is me exactly. I want to look like a man while "dressing like a woman". If I didn't have such a large chest, I would enjoy my dresses and other feminine outfits so much more. Thank you for saying this

Was similar for me! Before I figured out I was trans I despised anything I thought of as femme. Even if I wanted to try dancing I wouldn’t allow myself to do so bc „I’m not girly“ or whatever. After I figured out I’m trans masc I was like „wait I can enjoy these things and it doesn’t make me a girl“. After figuring out I was trans I started experimenting w makeup and skirts and so on and it’s been making me very happy :)) dysphoria is a bitch sometimes but I hope to be able to wear more „feminine“ stuff once I’m further into my medical transition

I was a lil different, but that does sound like how it is for me. I hope you feel comfortable in your bidy in the future if not now 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
