      I love being a dude it's true I've tried to think about what it would be like being a woman but the more I (think?) I understand femininity the happier I am in my state Testosterone I guess

      I think it comes from . . . It might be a kind of induced preference or metapreference Maybe 20 or 30 years ago I would have been indifferent, but today I have a life that is a very good fit for someone who is masculine: in my body, in my work, in my relationships

      I think I've gotten very good at playing certain masculine roles, and it feels good to be good at something! Kind of like slipping into an old pair of shoes.

      yeah for sure! i’d be interested to hear what sorts of roles these are for you. of course i’m not sure if they are specific to maleness or being a man vs generally or typically masculine, as well

      Oh yes that was kind of non-specific. Some masculine-leaning social roles: 1. generating and managing wealth/income/logistics to support others 2. supporting and alleviating fears, anxieties, etc 3. lifting heavy things and doing gross chores and deporting spiders

          None of these are exclusively masculine of course! But I think they vaguely lean that way. It's tricky. When I think about what it "masculine" even means, I guess I lean toward the old protoindoeuropean distinction between an active and passive principle

          Example: passive fire is just stuff burning. But behind (above?) it is a kind of principle of fire-ness, things imbued with some kind of nature that's reminiscent of fire. And you can see how metaphors evolve from there. I think there's something similar with genders.

          interesting. i don’t even know if i would call #2 especially masculine, though i’m sure a certain style of it is (something that perhaps i have little experience with?)

          Yes--I think it is a certain style. Like even there's an obviously masculine, obviously feminine, and neuter variants I bet This is hard to nail down 🙂
