some sense of *making other people come to you* BUT also acting as an anchor, a sort of nurturing force you just get the sense that they know they'll be okay, and maybe if you stick with them you'll be okay too

I'm louder but I sorta Take Charge. I give a direction of conversation. But I like to think my loudness is more boyish and excited than simply Loud Man. So there's plenty of types!

I've been reading other stuff in your thread, and mayhaps masc vs fem is draw around vs draw towards, or as in self vs others, respectively. Masc being people listen to you/do what you say, fem being watch what you're doing/want to get involved.

If you date trans and enby people but you're solidly cis, you still think about gender a lot, just with a primarily binary lense. And still living with expectations from society you started out with.

In other words, I think about it because I want to be a man and I want to be masculine, but I want to be some good and great and better version of it.

i think about it a lot because (i) I see other people maybe struggling with it and so its important, (ii) I read a bunch of Crowley and now i see gender binary as a fundamental feature of everything, like fire and water or the quality of the number twenty-three

It's there, and non-binary stuff is there, and in-betweens too. A little of this, a little of that. Just as many people like to be inside and outside of the binary.

trying to evade the gender binary feels very feminine, trying to subvert it feels masc :D

Oooh, that's a good one! When I paint my nails, I say it's masculine because I'm doing it. It's mine now.

Strong Eddie Izzard vibes here. (Interviewer: Why do you wear women's dresses? Eddie: They're not women's dresses. I bought them; they're mine. I'm a man; they're men's dresses.)
