This is kinda complicated? I agree there's pressure to signal genderfluid style acceptance virtues, but I personally experienced an actual shift here - I went from viewing it as an expression of weakness to an expression of confidence, at least in some circumstances.https://twitter.com/DrDebraSoh/status/1234978158417309697 …

True. I've been tangling with gatekeepers and it seems people who insult me are completely BTFO when I start hitting on them. Lel. If I can learn to do this IRL that's gonna be more than hilarious.

A slight change of topic, but do you see gay and ace men as necessarily unmasculine? Is "wanting to have sex with women" really relevant? If so, are bi men also less masculine than otherwise identical straight men?
-
I personally process gay and ace men as less masculine, but I think this is due to correlations with the sexuality than the sexuality itself (e.g., gotta be more aggressive to have sex with women than with men).

Large, powerful, masculine men can get away with behaving in a less masculine way, and still be consider3: attractive by many women. Small, weak, effeminate men must compensate via hypermasculine behaviors.

It definitely depends on the degree. For some, I think it's being driven by a paraphilia.
-
Probably this also varies a lot by subculture? In a few cultures I've spent time in, there was a lot of normalized crossdressing that was definitely in no way a paraphilia. I'm sure there exist other cultures in which most crossdressing is driven primarily by paraphilia.

Personally, I'm mostly interested in finding people who aren't afraid to believe and say what they actually think and want - which is a very differen thing from social comfort. Non-conforming appearance is possibly the only possible in-person signal for that, weak though it is.
