The thing is, nobody said anything regarding this otherwise. You can absolutely, as a male approach and engage feminine things (within normal human decency ranges),
Wear skirts, paint your nails, wear your hair long...nobody here takes any qualm with that -
It's when you, as a male - determine the things that YOU do as being 100% in relation to what we ARE.
When we say;
"No, male-bodied people, you can't relate to us and these materialistic things you do have no affiliation to what we are",
You don't reply with;
"Welp, guess I'll just mansplain and justify why my male body has more autonomy over 'womanhood' than actual women" <--- that's the issue.
You can build expectations up for yourself, but when you have to forcefully pull it from others, yeah, I don't know what to tell you

TIPs have this notion that everybody in the world, except them, feels comfortable with the sex stereotypes perpetuated onto them. Do these people not realize how they sound?

This is like when Oli London felt an affinity for Korean culture and then claimed a Korean identity. Getting all that plastic surgery to look more Korean (in his own estimation) made Oli temporarily "euphoric" too.
Having an affinity for stereotypes of femininity doesn't make you not-a-man. You are and always will be a man.

This really illustrates that these people see their "person" as somehow totally separate from their physical body, as if the brain weren't a physical organ. Hell, that by itself sounds an awful lot like dissociation.

In the physical world we’re often identified by our bodies … That didn’t work for me
Pronoun people are so convinced that everyone else LOVES being judged by their looks. Why is that? Why do they think “cis” people enjoy being stereotyped and they’re the only special sensitive ones who don’t? Is it some weird failing of empathy, or are they really that stupid?

Oh, my god! I haven’t shaved my legs in a week!! Have I lost my womanhood?? Clearly I haven’t felt the compulsion to immediately shave my legs so I must be a man now! Or maybe nonbinary?? How does anyone know?? Is this dissociation? Am I dissociating? Who am I? I don’t fit perfectly into the gendered boxes, as proven by my unshaven legs, so clearly I am in crisis and need internet hugs and words of affirmation and support.

Can't even remember the last time I shaved my legs, except that I got nasty ingrowns all over!! You bet your ass I'm not doing that again.
Disabled and tired of the bullshit, I stopped shaving in 2021. I don’t like blade-carrying water yoga anyway.
A good exfoliation takes care of dead skin and makes the hair softer anyway.
The image of someone shaving legs directly after the phrase "taking care of mysel"...
The idea that body hair on a woman being dirty, unhealthy, and that removing it is 'self-care', is harmful to all women and should not be perpetuated.
