I have chosen not to medically transition but to adjust my shape with working out.

Hold up. As a woman who’s been lifting and working out loads for the past 15 years, I’m telling you this is not possible. We do not produce enough testosterone to get muscles like males without steroids AND a religious bodybuilding routine AND a strict diet. Even if you did all that, your hips will still be there and you will still have a feminine shape. Your female body shape isn’t going to change no matter how much you bulk or shred because your shape is you goddam fucking bones.

If you already have a slim frame, do HIIT training to an obsessive amount and cut calories, you can achieve the androgynous waif look. That is as close as you’ll get. You will still look undeniably female though. (And, chances are, it’ll be wildly fucking unhealthy.)

I don’t want a particular validation from them, but I want a man who has already experienced attraction for men and feels the exact same thing for me.

Do they even hear themselves? I cannot.

I don't want validation from men except I only want to date men who will give me gender validation.
