… honey, there could be another reason you don’t like being called a man. 👀 Just a thought.

Nah, I identify as male. It’s just that the visual of a “man” for me is an older bearded dude with a deep voice… which I’m not…

I’m just speaking from experience here. Never had a problem with other masc identifiers, but something about “man” squicked me out. It always felt like becoming a man was something far off, but I kept getting older and it never happened…

Now I’m on hormones and am a woman and things are fine. Not saying this is your situation, but it was mine.

Why would they want to be called, ‘boy’, ‘male’, etc then?

It happened to me. Being a boy never bothered me, but as I got older becoming a “man” made me dysphoric.

So I became a woman instead.

Fair enough. For me, any gendered language makes me dysphoric when I am not that gender. But of course gender is a very individual and personal thing.
