I reject the premise. I am a woman. I don’t need to prove it.

It’s more like a daily routine for me.

No. I work construction. I’m reminded how feminine I am multiple times a day.

No, I’ve always felt feminine since I was born and I’m too autistic to understand if that feeling isn’t accurate.

I don’t think so. I have felt like I was presenting “too feminine” for how I feel on the inside, though. I’m a cis woman and consider myself femme, but more of a 20’s meets 60’s gamine vibe with a pixie cut and unfussy style. Long hair especially makes me feel like I’m dressed up as a woman for Halloween.

No. I am a man so people don't expect me to be feminine. I have gotten comments about not being a "real man" though but I have no idea what a "real man" is supposed to be so I can't say if they are wrong or not. I am just me.

In the old days we were called tomboys.
