    I’m a dude but i generally don’t like traditionally masculine things or hyper masculine people but I’ve never felt discontented with being a male.

    not that there’s anything wrong if you do. just doing some self examination.

      Ok, I feel similarly, but I don’t feel feminine. I just feel like… myself.

      I’ve slowly come to the idea that generally, gender is used to pigeon-hole people into roles, behaviour and style of dress. I can’t think of a single good thing that comes out of gender. So I’ve abandoned the concept entirely.

        I feel similarly to that. I’ve always chafed under the “Man” label because it never felt like it fit despite my being generally masculine. So now I don’t bother with labelling myself unless pressed.
