I can associate with some of what you speak of. When I was growing up, I kept getting told that playing video games and reading comics wasn't being a girl. On top of it, I didn't have many other "female" hobbies, so I was always being told I wasn't a girl. For a long time, I actually thought I should have been male. Thankfully, someone finally told me what a tomboy was, and for me, that was a moniker I could live with to identify myself.

But, I also have an acquaintance who looks and sounds very masculine. She's definitely a woman though, though her mother kept asking if she was gay. But she's happily married, just doesn't fit the "mold."

I think, a lot of what bothers people in this secret is just we've all gone through so much crap in relation to who we are, and what we're "supposed" to be, that feeling defensive is somewhat natural. And that applies both to trans and cis men and women. So, maybe this secret is a good thing; it shows just how frustrating it can be for people to be assigned something, rather than accepted for who they are.
