Tbqh the only reason why I don't write original fiction is because I don't feel confident in writing a realistic man. Which is funny because I can write men in fanfiction, but like.... Tbh, I don't think they're very realistic men either. People don't talk like men from games, manga, etc. Which I suppose someone can say, "Well if fictional men don't sound like real men, then why do you need to worry so much?" And I suppose that's a valid point. But still, regardless of how logical it is, I want to write a realistic man.

#rambles #i think i overthink it #i start diving too deep #'what does it mean to be a man?'#'what does it mean to be a woman?'#'what separates a woman from a man?'#regardless of my opinions on gender i've always spoken like a woman #before one of my online friends found out my ethnicity she thought i was a white girl from california bc i talk in a valley girl sort of way #and i think i let that bother me too much? when it comes to writing i mean #i cant talk like a guy #so if i can't talk like a guy does that mean i wont be able to write a realistic man?#but again what does it mean to be a guy? what does it mean to talk like a guy?#i already know that men are not necessarily more logical than women #and women are not necessarily more emotional than men #but still #the theres the whole psychology of men (specifically amab men)#i dont understand manly pride #i dont understand the desire to be respectedo #i dont understand the desire to protect and provide #nb and trans men may say that desire isnt built into being a man but it sure is for amab men #if you want my personal opinion that my brain believes but every other fiber of my being does not....#other than biological definitions there is no true definition to any of the two binary genders #if you believe to 'feel' like a man or a woman you are basing it purely upon the what society defines to be male and female #there is no true gender experience #you are you #and yet though i believe that i still believe that i can't write a believable man #terrible
