Wow, this is actually so similar to me except I ended up identifying as NB

So I guess long story short I identify as a cis man but reject whatever bullshit society wants to put on me as "masculine" or whatever. Idk what anyone wants to label that as, but I'm a man and I'll do what I want, and whatever that is I consider manly, because I'm a man and I do it so there.

This was literally my position almost word for word for a long time

It definitely resonated with my partner and apparently was a decent base point for them to consider their gender and come to an entirely different conclusion lol. But it's funny being a cis guy who went through basically the entire process and just decided "nah I'm good"

Absolutely, I'm happy just to have set aside a whole bunch of cis baggage I never wanted or asked for

Oh for sure! I am glad I actually had to confront my thoughts about gender, regardless of the outcome, thanks to my partner. In a better world none of this crap would be forced onto kids and we could just be ourselves without having to first deconstruct everything society says we should be
