Are you flamboyant or masculine?

Recommended Posts

I am a woman and I am pretty feminine with my voice, I have kind of a valley girl voice and hate bugs etc. 

but I sometimes feel like I don’t fit in with other women. I don’t groom my nails or eyebrows, I don’t talk about things other girls talk about … hard to explain. I find I can talk easier with men, I feel less like I’m falling short. I used to think I wanted to be a boy when I was a kid because I just felt like I embodied a boy on the inside? 
 

but I do love being a girl and it is part of who I am. I just sometimes feel like I don’t fit in which is normal I think. 
 

very cool discussion.

Interesting question, and tbh I’ve never really given it much thought before because I guess I just don’t define myself as either. I am me… I am rennen2.0. :explainlol_stare_spin:
 

I guess I have traits of both, but the feminine traits (if they can even be called that) only show or are known to people I am most comfortable with. Appearance and style wise I’d say I’m quite masculine… a well groomed masculine gay. :wink_britney_everytime_white: 

I have noticed that people tend to be surprised when they find out I’m gay. I always find it interesting because it leads me to believe that their own stereotypical views of what a gay man is supposed to look like, or how a gay man is supposed to act, is why they don’t see me as being gay. It’s lead to a few heated discussions. 

In saying all that, behind the keyboard I am definitely your stereotypical catty, feminine, flamboyant, *****y gay, though. :queenflopga_walk_sass_pink:

I’m masculine presenting, and it’s natural to me. I was more feminine as a kid, but I don’t know if I “adapted” to fit in subsconsciously or just changed. I don’t have the gay voice, I’m muscular and  solidly built, and I have a very masculine looking face.

Common first assumptions people have told me that they had of me are that I played sports (specifically baseball for some reason) or I was a frat boy. Being in my career which is white male-dominated and conservative, I automatically am assumed to be conservative and in the boys club even though I’m pretty liberal.

The stereotypical feminine things don’t really appeal to me or feel like me (like wearing makeup, dressing feminine, nail polish, etc.). I like looking and feeling and masculine and strong, thick, etc.

This may make no sense and I’m not trans at all, but I will say that despite not feeling feminine, I feel more like a woman than I do a man though - emotionally and psychologically. I connect a lot more with women, have mostly female friends, feel safe around women, I have zero interest in watching sports or following sports at all, and most of my favorite artists are all women.

I really don’t connect well with straight guys bc their go-to conversation topics are women and sports, and our music tastes never align either. It’s hard to feel comfortable around them if I don’t know how accepting they are of different ***ualities too. I connect most with women and anyone in the LGBTQ community. 

THIS! I feel this exact same way with female friends, feeling safer with women, etc.! I wouldn't say I'm quite as masculine-presenting as you wrote (I'll wear a cute graphic tee that's pink or has Sailor Moon on it, as a loose example), but I'm definitely a "boy" in that I don't care for dresses or nails, etc. But even as a young kid I always gravitated towards the care and softness of women, and always felt that I was more emotionally aligned with them than with straight guys. Thank you for sharing! 💖
