Unfortunately that is not the case either. I know far too many that enjoy ultra feminine fashion and makeup, hair but love to scream about how they are a boy.

Yes, that's true - some don't even try to look "masc," it's a just a claim they make, they can't be arsed to do the cosplay.

Also, so many of these girls and young women today who are claiming to be boys/men or no sex seem to think they somehow pass as males, when they really don't. At all. When they get older and have full beards and lose their hair, they are more convincing. Still, there are so many tells. But so many of the girls I see on YT and elsewhere who think they come across as boys don't at all. I'm often embarrassed for them.

Finally, even if Ellen Page takes lots of T, it's not gonna change the fact that she has very delicate facial features and is tiny in every way, barely 5'1 with tiny hands and feet. Even when Page supposedly has dressed "butch" - meaning wearing a suit jacket and tie, or a big shirt and jeans - she has always looked 100% female. Just as Annie Lennox and Grace Jones did when they had close-shorn hair and wore suits & ties, and just as Sinead O'Connor did when she had a shaved head.

Oh, those are just following the recent trend. How old are you by the way?

Late 20's but I have seen this since 5 years ago. It started with the then late teens who are now in their mid 20s, but I also unfortunately know people in their late 20s and early 30s like this. It seems to just not stop with age.

But late 20s and early 30s is still in the early phase of life. Female life expectancy in many countries is now edging on 90. In the US, the average female life expectancy is 81+ years, higher for white women, lower for black women. Many young women today can reasonably expect to live 50 or 60+years past their 30th birthday.
