    I’m aware that a guy is expected to behave in a number of ways that are deemed “masculine” and I’ve never fit into those characterizations

    isn't this just buying into gender roles as opposed to rejecting them? I'm a guy who also doesn't fit into all of the 'masculine' stuff, but I think that's pretty normal. where people go wrong is in trying to force themselves into those strict roles. I dunno, I just act like myself and I'm not particularly concerned with whether people think that's masculine or not, and I've never thought that makes me less of a man.

      Some may argue that.... Maybe it does? And maybe that's fine?

      I'm kinda like you where I'm not really concerned with it though. It could be that I'm somewhere between "masculine" and "agender", but where does that intersect with the definition of "nonbinary"?
