I don't think I'll ever understand why FTM femininity is a thing.

I mean I can understand gender bending, and androgyny, but why id as a man and then be "feminine". Sounds like lesbian aesthetic but with extra steps.

My guess is that most are trying to express that they feel discomfort with their bodies, mistakenly assuming that most women don't and they're the odd ones out for feeling like that. In reality, it's the opposite; I don't think I've met a single "cis" woman, ever, who's had no discomfort with her female body in some way.

The lack of logic between "I don't feel 100% like a mass media stereotype of a woman" and "therefore I must be a man" kind of kills me. Like...there is a middle ground in gender presentation you don't have to be one extreme or the other.
