    In other words, you didn’t actually do any real research—you made a bunch of assumptions based on what someone you know said and some propaganda you heard floating around. And it is very clear that is the case.

    If you have not investigated the matter then you should not speak because whatever you have to say of it will be nothing more than babble. Maybe let us transgender folk speak to our experience. There’s plenty of feminine men out there. There’s a whole aesthetics for that particular flavor of queer, most most famously femboy. There are also demi-sexualities where someone not quite one or the other such as demiboys.

    Maybe sit down and take the time to learn about things instead of having a knee-jerk opinion on the matter. There’s a lot to parse and if you think it is too much, that’s on you. For us, we know what we are and most of us have known for most of our lives. I didn’t transition until I was 35, but I knew what I was when I 4 or 5. I just didn’t have any way of expressing it and understood if I did I would be either in trouble or in danger. Contrary to popular opinion, children can and do pick up on those subtexts. No one transitions out of peer pressure—if anything the pressure is on us to not transition. That’s true regardless of age and the fact you don’t understand this shows you haven’t done any research.
