    Why are we redefining someone else’s gender for them instead of redefining what it means to be a man? Normalize make up and ‘girl clothes’ for men. Normalize looking pretty for men. Regardless if someone declares themselves trans or cis, believe them.

      exactly.

      I’d like to wear makeup without being accused of being gay (i am gay but not because I like makeup)

      I’d like to wear dresses without being accused of being drag (I’m not even sure what that means)

      I’d like to be pretty without being called weak (i can bench press your mother)

      people should be allowed to be who they are.

      The only person who can tell a person what their gender is is that person themselves. Even if it’s obvious to everyone around them, it’s not one’s job to dictate to another something that personal.
