Nathan_yates Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I try to be as manly as I can as a trans man. I can't help the fact that I'm short and have a feminine body but the fact that I get uncomfortable at the mention of sex and just how I am so cuddly to people make me seem weak or innocent. I want to feel tougher than I look. I'm from a tough family too and I don't want to seem like the only weakling among the strong people they are. Link to post Share on other sites
EmotionalAndroid Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Remember that strength/toughness is more than just physical! Emotional strength and strength of character are, in my opinion, the most important things. You are already well on your way by having the strength to know yourself and to BE yourself!

Rhaenys Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Honestly just the fact that you're trying in a world that isn't kind to trans people makes you pretty tough. Toughness = Masculinity is a bit of a construct and health wise it can be difficult to be tough given your body type )ectomorph, endomorph etc). Be the best person that you can be regardless of toughness. Link to post Share on other sites
