It's so annoying liking feminine clothing as a trans man.
Women have so much variety in clothing and as a somewhat alternative person I absolutely despise male fashion or at least what's available in stores. Like what do you mean I can either wear a wife beater, adidas and a hoodie or a full fucking suit?
Meanwhile the female fashion here while still not as varied as in other parts of the world is full of different cuts, colours, types of materials ect.
Lowkey when I wear male fashion I go from mid to absolutely chopped. I'm kinda like mid enough that I can pass for a guy bare face, but can look like a good 8 with make up.
And then I get those mfs asking me "why aren't you a girl if you like x so much" sybau
Why does my transition goal need to be some dude like idk Arnold Schwarzenegger? I wanna be like the strawberry boy or mana sama. And like I get people will misgender me, I don't give a single shit what some cashier or sb like that thinks I am. But telling me I'm "never going to be a man", "need to stop dressing like a girl or I'm not really trans" or misgendering me on purpose is tbh annoying and disrespectful.
I don't go up to you an tell you you'll never get into your dream top 10 uni if the only 100% you have is 100% wrong answers on all your exams. That would be rude.

This is just so real because some trans guys do like feminine clothing, coming from an androgynous transgender man, it makes me not pass because I still look very female (I can't transition because I'm closeted). I mean, my transition goals are to look like Roughton Reynolds, Albert Arlington (A Call of Duty Zombies character), Nabil Moo, or Aleksandr Shikolai. If the people you said are your transition goals, more power to you. I see you as a man because that's what you are, so don't worry. The people who misgender you on purpose are extremely idiotic, they are clearly horrible people. Try or at least try your best not to listen to them. They seem like attention seeking losers who have a sad life. Probably try make up that can make you look more masculine? There's tutorials on YouTube, it's understandable if you can't though. Watch some tutorials on YouTube that can help you look more masculine as a transgender man, ones made by transgender men for transgender men are preferred. Find tips on Reddit, Quora, etc. This could probably help. Even just mannerism helps you look more masculine, remember some biological men and men transgender look feminine or androgynous so you don't need to look hyper masculine or like a stereotype. If you need to vent or talk about this with someone, I'm here! I hope you're doing alright.
I'm pretty happy with the level of masculinity I'm at now and I don't really take to heart how I'm seen. For me it's annoying more than anything how some peop act, like a fly buzzing somewhere near.

Yeah that's good you're happy and don't take it personally. If you do just try not to listen to them, like I said. Glad to hear you're doing alright.
