I've never considered myself trans, but I've also never felt the need to embrace masculine traits. As I've entered the work force and everyone has reinforced to me that the man thing to do is to shut up, feel nothing and work yourself to death. This world dispises a sad lonely working class male with nothing to live for and can only see them for their labor potential. Ive even had other leftist tell me they don't care. I wish I was born a girl. I feel like my artistic interests would have been better explored and not repressed as they where because I was told the most important thing is to get a real job. I also wouldn't been seen as a ox to be worked outside until I collapse. Idk. I don't want to transition, but I hate how men are to be in this world.
It's not like I want to where make up or have long hair or anything overtly feminine. I don't know what I want, I just know that I hate my life and my existence as a working class male in the American society. I don't want to be a provider, a manager or a business owner. I suck at every thing and I'm a loner with no IRL friends. It seems like my only option in life is how much I want to work on my weekends and off time.
Yeah, none of that is particularly trans. Really it mostly sounds like general capitalism-caused depression with the added punch of men still being seen as the "provider". Just a gender roles thing that has more to due with society than yourself.

Yeah unless a wizard could instantly turn me into a girl or someone invited like a 3rd gender neutral state, I'm stuck as male and hating everything about being a man
See now that sounds trans. Would it be good if the wizard instead magically removed the expectation that being male = "being a man"?
Personally I'm a cis guy but I am in no way a man and can not at all identify with the term. I think by some people's definitions they might consider me nb, but I just don't see it. I'm still male, just not man.

You don't have to be trans to go against gender norms.
