I'm a trans man. I didn't realise this until a couple of years ago. Before that, I just seethed with anger at how stupid all these girly things were. I hadn't come to understand that frilly bras and rom coms are great for people who like those things. It seemed to me that everything around me was saying "you're a girl, so either you really like these things or you kind of like these things", but no, I didn't want anything to do with the reality of being a woman.

And then I figured out I was trans, and it all made sense. Realising that I am not a woman made me much more comfortable around and accepting and understanding of women, frilly bras and all.

I used to have something of a panic reaction when I caught myself noticing that a dress was cute. Now days, I can say "that's a cute dress, it'd look great on you, Suzie" without having to add "AND I'LL NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS BE CAUGHT DEAD IN SUCH A PREPOSTEROUS GETUP!"
This is true of dresses and movies and whatnot, but it's also true of much more important matters, such as women's rights. I used to push everything associated with women away and go "NOT FOR ME!", but now I can look on from outside and go "this is important for women" without feeling like I'll be dragged into something.

My husband was a lot like that. He was so happy to realize he liked cute girly things... on his girlfriend!

And that some things like knitting the general media wants you to think is just ladies, but actually hang out with knitters and there's tons of cis dudes. Or thinking cats make good pets, which http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Lil+Bub+Lil+Bub+Friendz+Premieres+NYC+TBWE-kRxxoyl.jpg is http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/06/07/article-0-1A30EBBE000005DC-807_306x423.jpg totally http://www.trbimg.com/img-5257059d/turbine/bal-indycar-driver-josef-newgarten-adopts-kitt-001/600/450x600 a girl thing. http://theberry.com/2010/04/08/im-allergic-to-guys-with-kittens-12-photos/

Not saying you aren't trans... but what the heck does "understanding of women" mean? Liking frilly bras has NOTHING to do with women or being a woman. Being a woman is... nothing more than identifying as a woman. Frills, pink, and pumpkin spice lattes having nothing to do with it.

It's a stereotype. I felt that to be both a woman and the person I was, I had to push everything stereotypically female away and proclaim it stupid, shallow, useless.
After I realized I was trans, I saw that what I was doing was problematic. Traditionally girly things are not stupid, they simply represent something I wanted to distance myself from.
