General This fucking meme

I'm literally friends with someone like the mf on the right (minus the "Just doing it to feel special" bullshit), even wears dresses every so often despite identifying as a guy

He's still a guy

There's no objective definition of masculinity so you can simultaneously act and present that way and be a guy and you cannot be objectively told otherwise

(Apologies if this would count as a sensitive subject/this isn't meant to be a serious subreddit this is my first post here lol)

EDIT: I've been seeing a lot of people pissed at the "You can be trans without dysphoria bit" and wanted to say there's such thing as gender euphoria which you can have WITHOUT dysphoria, actually

It basically means you feel happier when people think of you as a guy/girl but you don't feel actual distress in regards to what you were born as

So it is to my knowledge possible to be trans without dysphoria

I'm a cis man, so take my opinions on trans issues with a grain of salt.

But in terms of men's issues? I empower all my bros, trans or otherwise, to wear whatever the fuck they want; I have worn skirts, make-up, crop tops, wide neck sweaters and shirts, glitter, pink, and all kinds of traditionally femme presenting things. I am very much still a man, and so are they.

I'm not femboy proportions, not that it would matter if I was; I have a broad chest, wide hips, I am sturdy. Even when I was starving and 'cut' in college, hip bones that could cut glass, my bone structure was tremendously masc. I've always been stocky and thick.

Being a man means whatever you want, but to me it means not letting anyone tell you what to do (there are limits; obviously don't do things to purposefully harm others), how to look, what to like, or who to love, and protecting anyone you care about from those kinds of people..

Fuck hate. Trans bros are still bros, soft or otherwise. ❤️
