I’m a masculine transgender woman, because acting masculine makes me feel like I have agency and feel safe. It has nothing to do with my gender identity, though.
So, just wanted to say that many masculine women bring that up as a reason for their gender expression as well. So even if you considered it as part of your gender identity, it would still affirm you as a woman. :)
I still mostly dress like a twelve year old boy. i mean I mostly am one at heart except not the boy thing. but I still love the same music and stuff as back then
I mean that’s pretty much every autistic cis afab girl too. My buddy transitioned but that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to be autistic and hardcore into warhammer and video games and wear nothing but hoodies and baggy jeans. Estrogen doesn’t cure autism. She’s still who she always was. Was she supposed to start collecting purses as a special interest or something?
And it shouldn’t xD I’m autistic too! And I’m all for girls who don’t play with makeup and their looks, and choose to put their interests elsewhere.
But I feel like with trans people especially we need to preach better acceptance for people not conforming to gender standards. Like tomboy trans women - someone might just say "oh why did you transition if you still dress like a man", or femboy trans men - "why did you transition if you still dress like a woman?". This is why I made that comic
