So, I’m a cis man who feels pretty comfortable in his own skin and body, and my hobbies and interests all seem very man-coded (at least stereotypically) like wargaming, model collecting, an interest in military history, etc.,.

However, if I were to describe myself, even if I’m just talking to myself about myself, I never really describe myself as *masculine*. And wven when I try to use that adjective, it just *actively* makes me uncomfortable.

And it's not just for "toxic masculinity" and that stuff. The stuff most of us in our culture are bombarded with and some naturally assume masculinity is by default. I also feel uncomfortable with describing myself as "positive masculinity".

Like, I don’t feel like either kind at all and neither feel particularly aspirational.

Idk if that’s just me or if it's "part of my autism" or I-don't-know-how-to-phrase-it.

Anyone else feel that way about their sex and/or about their gender identity?
