AMAB Genderqueer: You seem to be confusing gender expression and behavior with gender identity and psychology. So the ugly reality is that looking at being trans is kind of a rock-bottom, last-resort thing. I don't see how I can live with the stress of passing as a man for the next 20 years. I've been doing it for about 30 years now and I've hit my limit. I have a trans therapist and support group now, and being on that path has been much more helpful than the previous two decades of pro-feminist psych for men.

So ... historically speaking trans people often have had history within queer GNC counter-cultures. A fair number of transmasculine people, binary or nonbinary, get their start within butch culture. Les Feinberg is one of the go-to sources for talking about that. Similarly, lots of trans people get training wheels within friendly counter-cultures like punk or goth. That's ok too. And maybe they're "trenders" or maybe they're newly hatched "eggs." You can't figure that out by keeping a scorecard of what they do in your sight and how they do it.

Thanks. Someone else here pointed out how it's about what you feel like mentally vs. what you wear, and that made sense to me, since I still am/feel like a girl even though I don't wear the most stereotypically "girly" clothes.
