When I started my journey I was in a different place, but detransitioned realizing that male doesnt mean masculine nor does female mean feminine. Even he him does even mean manly or masculine. I don’t understand why people equate gender with presentation. I felt the nonconformity movement was moving strong but now seems you have to identify as nonbinary for some reason. Whats wrong with just caling male = man and leaving presentation as a social concept.

I wish I had understood this before, so wondered if anyone has felt the same leading to detransition, learning they can be whatever they want without become a pharmaceutical guineau pig.
