    being a masculine womna isn't nearly as difficult as being a feminine man. Feminine men even easily risk to get beaten

      I honestly believe that the only time a masculine woman will face harassment is if she actually makes herself look masculine i.e very short hair and all. I think on the surface that masculine women are deemed acceptable but only if they blend in femininity with it. But once they start ditching femininity altogether, that's when the hate from others (mostly men) tend to come out.

      I didn't mean to dismiss your struggle, just saying a gay feminine man would find even more pressure, because the attacks both verbal and physical tend to be far worst, cause we live in a misogynistic society where femininity in men is seen as an attack to sacred masculinity. There is not this type of perception when it comes to masculine women. So I find a feminine man an act of particular bravery
