I totally vibe with this sentiment. Iβm a FTM transmasc person and Iβve always been essentially a soft boi. Iβve never felt extremely drawn to traditional cis-masculinity, except when I saw it displayed by non-cis dudes (ironic, I know).
Even though my presentation is far more tomboyish and masc and that feels natural to me, Iβve never wanted to be manly man trans guy either. Being a genderfluid nb probably is why that is. I guess you can say Iβm a slightly effeminate transguy? At least in terms of mannerisms.
I know this is supposed to be a joke post, but as an older transperson I'm delightfully blown away at how the younger trans crowd doesn't give af about gender stereotypes. When I started transitioning, there was exactly one resource online and it was "How to pass" and included things like hairstyles and mannerisms. Nowadays everyone is just free to be themselves! I've been working on this, myself, and it's been quite freeing.
It's kind of a joke post but also kind of not, since I aspire to be a very butch, very Masc tomboy transfem. I'm not concerned if I pass enough for people's tastes, I just want to be happy and be myself, my true self.
