An inclusive place for members of all stripes that don't fit into our culture's binary categories of gender.

hey y'all, i have a friend who attends the local transmasc group, and has some overlap with us, but largely has hys (hy/hys/hym pronouns) own gender experience. hy describes it as i did in the subject, being "female-bodied with intensely masculine energy"; hy describes it as very primal, competitive, hyper masculine, etc

while we're always happy to have hym in the group, and give hym space to speak/vent, we really can't provide the kind of shared experience that seems like it would be really helpful for hym. so i'm searching my various communities on the internet in hopes of finding someone else who experiences gender in a similar way (with hys explicit permission)

if this also describes you or someone you know, i would love it if you reached out via comment or DM! thank you <3

look into the cultures of other languages, for example Spanish: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/macho#Usage_notes (read the last sentence of Usage notes).

this is pretty cool! however, i don't think hy identifies as a woman, strictly speaking. hy more or less identifies as hys own unique gender
