Does anyone else think feminine guys/femboys are quite a powerful force against TRAs?

My bf isn’t femme but pretty metrosexual-gets clear manicures, really well dressed, orders cocktails when I usually get a beer, likes to be little spoon, etc. Honestly never thought of it until all the gender politics because according to TRAs we aren’t a normal cis couple just because we aren’t stereotypes( or bc my man is androgenously super hawt whereas I’m a “low 8 with broad shoulders” according to an ex XD

I mean most men in relationships just open up more and can be their true selves because social circles for men suffer from toxic masculinity which to a TRA makes them “feminine” which is so sad and sexist.

We distance ourselves from the gender political crowd and don’t really associate with people who would curl into a suicidal ball of goo if we mispronouned them. Men can be men and still super femme or whatever as long as you don’t label yourself a genderspecial you’re fine by me.

If you introduce yourself with a monologue on your triggers you get a tight lipped grin and I quickly make my exit.

Where I live, vocal TRAs are a non-entity so far (thank goodness) but even slightly gender role-divergent men (such as your BF) and women will get plenty of nasty comments from church going good ole boy types. It’s “not okay” to dress or act out of the norm for one’s biological sex, or to be gay (which are 2 totally different things, but they get all lumped together). It’s not even okay to be a married woman and keep your maiden name (that’s assertive and “masculine”) 🙄. Gay teens still get thrown out of their homes and I’m sure those same parents would have stricter ideas on gender roles as well. Local politicians still want to “pray it away” etc.

With the “help” of the internet, “transtrending” is taking off to the point that I know 3 TiFs (all butch lesbians) locally. One was thrown out of her home in high school for being gay and found her girlfriend online- now they’re both TiFs. If aggressive TRAs start to take off more here, it’s going to get worse, dogpiling on top of the conservative local culture to where GNC and/or gay teens are either told they’re sinful, unnatural and will burn in hell or that they’re “trapped in the wrong body” and need surgery...this is so fucked.
