"Life experience" is a brutal and punishing demand to put on trans women (by design), but I haven't seen people talk about how meaningless and weird it can seem as a requirement for trans men.

In Cambridge, Massachusetts when I started timidly wearing men's clothes in light colors (pink button down with a cream sweater vest, for example), I could still say I was femme presenting. Definitely not turning any heads or attracting attention.

It was great for where my head was at the time bc I didn't want to stand out in any way, but having clothes cut for a man's body helped the gender dysphoria a significant amount. Plenty of cis women here have at least some items of men's or unisex clothing, esp sportswear.

Yep, absolutely. I call myself a gender conforming man- but in my cultural context that means keeping basically the same style (albeit fewer shirts in actual pink), and taking T for 5 yrs.
