Its interesting knowing there are women who want to look/ apear masculine. There are men who want to look apear feminine. Then there are people who believe in multiple genders and labels. And there are also people who believe in no gender labels what so ever. There are people with an idea of what they want feminine or masculine to be and there are others who push those boundaries in order to make a statement...

What makes someone a woman? What makes someone a man? The way they dress? The way the talk? The way they walk? Can a woman have a masculine character? Can a man have feminine characteristics? Of course.

A trans woman can go out of her way and dress up, wear make up, speak softly, walk elegantly, perhaps have poise. But is that then her personal definition of what she believes a woman is?

Same for a trans man, do they feel better about going out of there way to assimilate and conform to typical male qualities?

Just something I've always thought about as a member of the lgbtq+

Like as a gay guy I don't really care to be femme or masc. I can be both or neither in one day. Is that privilege then? To know that I am a gay man and I visually appear to be one without having to try? But then why do I care about what other people think of my gender or my qualities? Why can I safely be content being and having any mannerisms I want without needing to feel validated by others? I know I am real. I know who I am. Why do others need other people to believe it then?
