I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I don’t relate to the gender roles and expectations society puts on men. I now identify more strongly with being a man than ever before, and I love being a man in a gender-way. I just absolutely hate being a man in a “what role men have in society”-way.
Rephrasing, I understand why it still exists in that sense, but don’t understand the viewpoint of the people that are threatened by challenging it, necessitating it’s role in society.
That’s not something I fault them for, it’s just something I don’t share an experience with.
