I gave up trying to act “manly” in any way whatsoever,

as it didn’t wash with hard-case macho types, anyway.

Such types would never warm to me, anyway, as I’m way too femme for any pretense of being a geezer-bloke.

So being androgynous can at times be a bit polarising.

Those that support us, warm to us and make that instantly known.

Similarly, others who do not warm to anyone on a trans spectrum, are possibly instantly cold, or worse even.
