For real though men are like "I'm a gentleman so I'm going to carry things for you!"

(Even though you told them it's misgendering or that your don't like it) They want to play at being a gentleman even when people don't like it or it's actively making things more difficult for other people.

The interesting this is how much subtle self-reporting these responses contain. I like when my gf makes me a meal, I like being a provider, I like femininity period...They are associating certain acts with being a woman without ever interrogating their emotional association between them. WHY do you feel like it's "traditional" when your wife/gf cooks for you? WHY does being a provider mean being masculine to you? These people tend to be so invested in their own logical masculine intellect, but cannot work their way down the ladder far enough to see that "have a job" and "cook food" are genderless behaviors that we have assigned special, contextual meaning to as a society. And the last one, liking "femininity", is the most questionable of all. You like...what? A subjective jumble of behaviors accrued over hundreds of years, developed in societies that barely resemble ours anymore? I might as well say yeah, I like a MASCULINE man.

PS: Pulling out chairs for women originated in a time when women always wore very long, heavy skirts and dresses. When you’re wearing a long dress, it’s tricky sitting down without sitting on the skirt of the dress and pulling it down. So pulling a woman’s chair out for her if she’s wearing a long fancy dress can be very helpful. Just kinda “catch” her with the chair while she holds her skirt as she sits. She’ll appreciate it.

[@dougdimmadome9241]

to be perfectly clear, people do have an innate sense of gender that is internal and exists outside social norms. I think, since they're not normally forced to confront it, cis people don't tend to notice it in themselves. the only way I can describe it is that gender dysphoria is like a very very amplified version of if you've ever been called by a nickname you hated and crawled out of your skin whenever it was said. gender euphoria is like a very amplified version of getting a haircut that makes you feel inherently more like yourself. it may take a long time for a trans person to connect these feelings to our gender and that's why it's so hard to describe and understand- often it takes several years just to pinpoint and identify within one's self. it is, in a sense, almost like synesthesia. very hard to grasp from an outside perspective but internally you just *know* some things for a fact. edit to clarify, but this specifically includes nonbinary genders as well. i know enby people reading this will probably not question that, but i want to be very clear.

On gender roles: one thought I had right after I came out as a trans man, is "I can be a truck driver now." I immediately wondered why that thought even popped up in my mind, considering I've never wanted to be a truck driver, and I can't even drive a car. And I could already be a truck driver if I wanted to, but society had made me feel like that just isn't an option for women. So you're absolutely right about gender roles informing the choices people feel like they're allowed to make. I'm sure there's plenty of women who love doing hard labour, and personally, as a man, I love being nurturing and creative, and I'm a full time single dad who crochets a lot in his free time.
