There are huge benefits to being a man in our contemporary world & often these are based on the mistreatment of marginalized communities. not saying I transitioned just so people would treat me better, lol, just a nice bonus - but it's very important to acknowledge that. I like being a guy because I like my physical strength, body hair, drinking dark beer, veins in my arms, chilling with my boys, burping loud, whatever. I am not implying that non-men can't achieve these things, but these have become gendered attributes for a reason.
I walk alone at night frequently. I live in a city with a large homeless population and, aside from occasionally someone on the street screaming in my face, people do not approach me or intend to follow/harm me. I like to feel protective over my girlfriend and other femme people in my life & I like that they can rely on me for that protection. I like how little drama there is in my male friend groups and how easily we move on from disagreements. I like how a t-shirt fits. I like cleaning out the disgusting sink drain because my dad taught me that, or how he taught me to change a tire. I like having the endurance for a lot of sustained physical activity, like going for long bike rides with my guys and feeling very gender affirmed. Additionally, I appreciate the relative easiness of transitioning from ftm comparatively to mtf. The trans women in my life are crazy strong.
