Has embracing that you might be a tranny helped anyone else understand masculinity better? When I hang out with the bros, being friendly with the dudeness but somehow "different" feels so much nicer than trying to fit in with it. I used to find that dumb guy mentality sort of annoying, now I find it quite charming to hang around.

I feel like a robot

i like masculinity a lot so long as if i dont have to participate in it and can enjoy it from a healthy distance

>>40392530 (OP)
yes exactly! it was like this pretroon for me also. i liked hanging around fratbros, but i could never truly be one of them.

I get that envy cis girls have for male friendship desu, that "I wish I could be friends with boys the way boys are friends with boys" thing

if you read cis, you can be friends with gay men
if you read a tranny, you can be friends with straight men
e-z

Idk I've got gay guy friends and its not quite what I'm talking about, love them but it's not the same dynamic that I'm talking about

>>40392530 (OP)
I was def always an "other" among my guy friends but nobody really questioned it too much since I was demonstrably into women, but it's def a lot easier to cope with and understand how and why I fit into these social spaces now that I understand what my dysphoria is and how I want to deal with it. Tbh I see how the trannies i know irl fit into my social circles and I'm pretty optimistic

I enjoy making men happy
I lead others to treasure I cannot possess

No, men have been exceptionally rude to me, if i try to talk to them they dont engage me at all.

Being estrogen made me understand testosterone better and the people that have to put up with it yeah. Fish in water typa deal. Finding out that women really dont get horny like men was crazy. I was kind of gender nihilist before and now i think gender is kind of just natural consequences to hormones
