Femininity denotes queerness in men but masculinity does not and although expression shouldn't be an insult or denote queerness they are, even within queer communities and it's so hard to talk about and I'm so frustrated. Women get to be masc or femme but men are pigeon held trans or not.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention in case anyone is unaware:

I was originally going to do this, but I'm too busy, so I'm gonna go support my homies. Support the homies! ✊🏽🤎
The fit is fire!
It doesn't matter how often I talk about testosterone or masculinization or how much of a (fem)boy I am. You saw me in a dress IRL so I must be a woman, whether cis or trans. 🙃
It's hard to have a nuanced convo about this with a character limit, but: femininity consistently overrides maleness even within the trans community and it's insulting.
It almost makes me not want to leave the comfort of VR because if I present the same way IRL, I am suddenly "girl", "she", etc.
And even if I /am/ perceived as a woman, again I feel like our community should know better. Why are non-passing women treated with so much more grace than non-passing men? Why is it always "women & enbies" and never "men & enbies"? Why does the man/masc have to be visibly queer to be accepted?

I feel like I've just been way too nice about this overall and I'm going to start yelling at some people. Some of ya'll have known me for years. You should KNOW better.
This is very true, and I get it, I do! I think this adds to my frustration standing at the intersection and seeing both sides but also both talking past each other. It's all hinging on stereotypes at the end of the day.

I could go on a whole rant about how being nonbinary/trans-male and dating cis men seems to make this presumption even worse for us. 😭
