Fluid with in its own parameters
Someone wrote…
I’ve never been very good at gender expression. Only recently did I finally get a haircut I actually liked. Then one day I decided to try on make-up. Just because. In the past I’ve fooled around to see if I could still look like a woman. But that day, I found eye liner and lipstick struck me masculine.
I don’t dislike labels for myself, but I don’t like to slap on the ones that exist. Transmasculine, sometimes man/lad/masculine, but mostly third gender. After years of convincing other people I am male, how can I qualify that statement? My sex should be male, but my gender differs, fluid within its own parameters.
What’s your experience?

Story of my life. Like, 100%. I actually tried the exact same thing with eye liner and lipstick a little while ago, and it felt masculine to me. Who are you? Get out of my head!
:P
