Downvote brigaders suck, they never contribute anything to the discussion, their only goal is to try and punish people, it was one of the many shitty problems on Reddit that we were told to just deal with. While it is mostly just annoying to get downvoted, so is spam in your, and I don't see spammers being defended or people arguing for their right to post spam or arguing what does and doesn't constitute spam. Nor do I see mods arguing that banning spammers violates "personal freedom" so I say that just like we do for spammers we should take out the trash.

That sounds really hard, I hope you feel better in the future.

I guess it could, I posted it as Transmasc because I found it relatable as a transmasc who's very feminine, and has been told to man up before for being too feminine, both by regular cis people and from people in the trans community saying I'm devaluing the transmasc experience by acting feminine (fuck them).

Probably could be considered non-specific TBH, toxic masculinity affects everyone in one way or another.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm sorry I didn't mean any kind of offense. It just felt relatable as a transmasc person and I thought other transmasc people could relate.

I felt like I remember it happening more times 🤔

 
 

Think it would go over well at !nottheonion@lemmy.world, or do you think they'd reject it?

I don't know but it is nice. I kinda want one like that too.

 

I'm a transmasc demiboy, but I don't really like to present myself very masculine. I still love wearing skirts, I like painting my nails, even wearing light makeup.

I'm not happy about the idea of having facial hair or a deeper voice, which is why I have not yet started HRT, even though I'll probably need to in some capacity since I do want phalloplasty in the future.

I also have no desire for top surgery since I don't want to lose sensation in my nipples, and I don't want to have scars on my chest. They don't bother me anyway, they're small (about an A cup). Just about the only masculine thing I do is that I cut my hair short, not super short, but still shorter than what would be considered feminine.

Is this normal? Does anyone else have similar experiences? I've been told I don't act enough like a boy and that I need to be more masculine.

I'm transmasc by the way. I know it happens to other femboys and it sucks for them too but for me it feels super invalidating and makes me feel dysphoric to be told I should be a girl 😭
