June is Pride Month! Do you feel you’re on this scale? Or more of a mix of different ones?

    Honestly I’d rock an m1a1 in a dress I could have a Kevlar underskirt to match. Let me ride to war atop my Abrams chariot dressed like a queen.

    Edit: only after posting did I realise we might be talking about the toys and not dress up.

    I’m a trans woman. Weirdly enough I’ve never had much respect for pointlessly gendered toys. If people point blank asked me “Barbie or G.I. Joe?” I’d hesitantly answer “…um, TMNT???”

    That said, I can’t explain how I got a strange productivity boost recently when I started ordering stickers and putting them everywhere. I do need some cutesiness it seems. As long as I don’t make everything pink.

    I think this ought to include two dimensions (at least), one spectrum of gender and another of presentation. So woman to man on one, and feminine to masculine on another. The middle on the existing chart gets complicated because it wants to order butch women on the femme=woman side and feminine men on the masc=man side and they don’t quite line up. If I could draw, I’d make a chart like:

    Barbie Tig Notaro
    Dan Levy GI Joe

    (celebs just examples that came to mind, not necessarily the epitome of this structure lol)

    Probably between a 4 and a 5. I have a running half-joke with some of my friends that I’m the only femboy who is actually a woman. Half joke because it’s rediculous but also it’s kind of how I actually feel.

    According to the diagrams, holding your arms outward is feminine, but holding them inwards at your side in order to take up less space is masculine. Sounds backwards

      You mean outward is backwards and inward is (straight)forward ? Or is it the other way around ?

    Honestly, kinda flit everywhere between 2 and 6, depending on the day. I feel like I’m probably a 4 on a normal day, but I can’t ignore the times of “My gender is something beyond your, and my, comprehension.”
