      it is fembrained but its like a scale you know? if theres too much male on one side the scale will tip over in its favor

        Its because sex incongruency is a different concept from having male typical interests because of stereotypes and socialization differences lol

          im afraid other trannies will clock me immediately without even looking at me because of how boyish my interests are, sometimes im so ashamed of this whole thing but i cant do anything about it since you cant dictate what you like

              i meant that you cant force yourself to like something it will just be unenjoyable, and if you like something a lot you cant really make yourself unlike it, unless you put in a lot of effort

                trying to unlike things is kinda unhealthy, unless its something really bad. there’s value in basically every hobby/interest–you just have to learn how to find it. are there any interests you wish you had which are fembrained? why not try talking to people who enjoy them to see what they like about them? then you could try to imitate what they do

                for example, i’ve been consuming a lot more romantic media lately. i used to dislike it because it felt like it just dragged on for too long. then i read someone describing it, where they said the slowness/gradualness was suspenseful to them, and now I’ve learned to see it that way too

                idk, im sorry for trying to force help onto you
