One of the saddest (and funniest) crimes of gender norms is (purported) cis dudes who fascinatedly ask about a girl's makeup, or talk about how skirts seem cool, or comment excitedly on videos about typically "feminine" topics with the preface of "I'm a guy, but..."

And sure, yeah, maybe they're trans women. Who knows! But womanhood isn't a prerequisite for clothing or hobbies.

You shouldn't have to be a woman to feel pretty. Plus makeup and dresses can affirm your masculinity, too. Gender euphoria doesn't only exist for trans people, and what causes it isn't static.

This is also true of cis women liking masc things obvi, but there's so much baggage around men having "feminine" interests

#gender #also this isnt just about how a man himself acts. its how people treat him #my dad likes pretty things and stuffed animals and windchimes (and working on cars and online pvp gaming and sports)#and yknow what hed gotten from inlaws and his own parents for holidays for years?#tools (useful if he asked for it) whisky (he doesnt drink) fancy whisky decanters (he doesnt drink) lowes coupons and chocolate #when he buys himself stuff its tools. windchime. pretty art. windchime. “look this is so cute!”. chocolate #i cant believe his own mom got him a whisky decanter he hates whisky #gnc #i think if every kid got to play girlsgogames dress up games we'd heal as a society #but men think they need the dress up game to be attached to a 100hr+ playtime fantasy rpg (love those tbh. but still)#harp rambles
