Whoa whoa wait a second I think I need something explained to me.
I've been reading the comments on this secret, and people are apparently pissed off about it because:
1) You can be a male stuck in a female body. 2) You don't have to be stereotypically masculine while being a man.
BUT.
If being masculine =/= acting like a "man", and FTMs want to be males who aren't masculine, then
W-Why do you want to be a man in the first place??
Because when you deny traditional "masculine" and "feminine" definitions then being a male simply means having a penis.
Which you will never have, if you were born female? Which would make identifying as a male even though you are in a female body completely worthless, most especially if you're going to act stereotypically female anyways? (What I mean is, the act of giggling or using smilies, while not limited to females, is traditionally a "feminine" act?)
I don't know, I think my logic is pretty sound on this one.
If man =/= "masculine" person then man = penis but female body =/= penis therefore female body + man-identification =/= LOGICAL
So right now transgenders are kind of on par with anorexics in my mind. I can't really see how denying the body you were born in to the point of damaging your body physically to obtain said unrealistic wish for your body is healthy at all.
