Do you think other transsexual women also have a preference for more masculine men? I wonder if that could be because of a desire to not see similarities between yourself and another member of your natal sex, even subconsciously.

That’s an interesting thought! I feel like (male) HSTS might have similar preferences in men. I was briefly on Tailcalled’s discord a few years ago and they would ask us to rate male attractiveness sometimes (for data lol) and it felt like the few of us that were there all preferred the same (more masculine) type. Your idea makes sense, but I feel like I couldn’t possibly know. Presumably, it be stronger with more male appearing TW and, at least for HSTS, it’s just seemed like universal (of that small group at least).

Speaking of which, where is u/tailcalled? I thought for sure they had posted here in the past, but I can't find their profile. Looks like they're active over on Reddit, though.

Interesting for sure. I also prefer a more masculine outer appearance. Scrawny doesn't do it for me. Boyish is fine up to a point, but not as in underage looking. However, I'm not looking for any pronounced physical differences in regards to height or strength.
