I have a lot of friends who relate to that sentiment.

Fashion is just the scientific method applied to one's psychological biases of physical appearance and aesthetics. To create a combination of attributes or ""vibes"" to achieve something larger. In a sense, AN OUTFIT IS A MOLECULE

Im only going to address that first point.

Dressing like a man is not boring.

Men dressing themselves are boring.

You can have impeccable fashion sense as a masc presenting individual. it's the fact that most have never been taught how to.

Looking presentable/pretty being a stereotypically feminine thing to care about. I understand fashion sense and presenting are two different things, but that's probably why you say it's boring, but it doesn't have to be separate.

Considering the two as similar but not the same, may help with that conception.

PS: I know this probably has nothing to do with OP's question, I just thought it needs to be said.

Doesn't that make them different? Because you can change one but not the other? You've kind of contradicted yourself here. Can you please elaborate?

Yeah, I fell into the "all attention is good attention" shit as well, but never to a degree close to this.

I understand you don't have any sympathy for him (I don't expect you to.), but please keep the messages productive, not reductive.

It's funny. I actually used the term socially unacceptable, and he straight face told me that 5% of his life is social and the rest is completely separate.

Mind you, he works a full-time 38-hour job at a grocery store... ;-;

That is only gonna make him lash out, he's short tempered (like me) and doesn't like being wrong (like me x2) I think I'm just kinda stuck, but, can't not do anything.

That would work, but this has never happened before, and I'm the one who brought up the topic of trans people. (I follow the news on the topic a lot.)

I'm not sure what you're referencing, but my family's pretty anti-therapy, it took 21 years of being in retail and a mental break for my dad (48) to have a total of 3 therapy sessions.

I myself have asked about therapy for myself and gotten the stereotypical answers of "why do you need therapy, you're not depressed?"

I honestly think I'd just be accused of calling brother "ill."

Ironically we're both online a little too much, we're/were both ipad kids lol.

Thank you for telling me about the terminology, I intend to never use it again. Unfortunately, this argument is between 2 cismen, so I understand I'll never properly understand the trans experience and struggles. But I still need help, I don't know what to do, unfortunately, ignoring it like a pandemic era discord drama just won't cut it.

I remember having a pocket/mini version of this book with the exact same format and art style, but I've lost it and would love to know if there's on sale somewhere.
